lel, grow the fuck up
If I could use it in place of after effects/premiere that would be cool
who cares?
it's like saying

I thought all cartoons were made in Flash now.

It's probably some shitty gui for ffmpeg that turns frames into a video file.
Looks pretty neat. Looks like its first release was on IRIX, but they only have Windows and OSX versions now. It will have to be ported to Linux.
>>53596086
you don't have any idea what that software is and can do, right?
it's not surprise though, /g/ is mostly ricing desktop and buying smarthphones
>>53596266
soon brother, soon
>>53596287
Yes, I literally have no idea how anime artists draw anime.
They just draw frames with photoshop, right?
it's more like i don't give a fuck about animation software nigga.
>>53596321
They draw the frames on paper and then they are scanned

I bet it doesn't even work on Linux.

this is great news for me because open source animes will finally allow me to be a weeb whilst respecting my freedoms
Free animes for everyone!

Looks like that guy got his answer finally.
>>53595960
Guess their giving up on 2d animation and pushing more for 3d animation. I don't blame theme.
TYODLD CONFIRMED!
>>53595960

Bruh. You're on a technology board that don't care about this shit. Unless you show how the software looks than it be amazing but you are not showing anything except spouting shit that every blogger already posted on his/her's site.
>>53597285
>3d animation
Please no.
>>53597509
>>53595960
Great news, i hope being open source there's now a possibility of being ported to linux.

>after effects/premiere for animation
wtf? Premiere is for video editing, and AE is for visual effects.
>>53598415
forgot that there are no id's but that wasnt op my man
Do we know what license?
>>53595980
It's animation and it is an ART.
Just because it's oftenm used to make lowest common denominator shit for children and frat boys doesn't invalidate it.
>>53596337
If it's made open source, I bet my money it'll be ported to every existing operating system on this planet within a month
>>53597997
that's not 3D, but 3D animu is also shit
>>53596337
that tts voice is horrible
>>53596287
I don't and I don't give a shit either. I will never be an artist and cartoons are for children.

Fuck off weeb
>>53595960
I posted about this on /a/ yesterday and the thread got like 10 posts and died.
Seems like nobody cares. To me it's pretty huge, it's like if Apple FOSS'd FCP or Adobe FOSS'd Premiere or something in terms of impact. It also means that anime fans the world over can potentially have a small hand in anime production, which is cool as hell. If you look at Blender as an example of how a tool can blossom with FOSS, this means that Toonz could a tool many times amazing than it is even now, and it's available to everyone. That's fucking great, and I'm not even a stallmanite.
>>53597997
Don't they have dicks?
>>53600589
And?
>>53600589
they do
:,( I really wanna dedicate time to drawing
>>53595960
that is an article on the onion
Who cares, unless you're an animator this doesn't change anything (all these new people will "try" animation cause its so EZ, realize how fucking hard it is even with this thing and quit, and only a few will use it).

Will they release it on GitHub or something?
>>53600562
this
at least in a technical point, it means the code will help in the creation of new 2D animation technologies or improve 3D animation software in some way
everyone benefits from this
also, Japan is aiming to cel shading, so traditional 2D animation will fade in a few decades
>>53599609
*tips freedom*
>Toonz has only been used by Ghibli since Arriety and onwards
So it's been used for shit stuff, ok.
>>53596149
It's going out of fashion, most studios are switching to Toonz or Toonboom now.
>>53595960
Does this mean the software is dead and their giving it away?
>>53600292
>If it's made open source, I bet my money it'll be ported to every existing operating system on this planet within a month
You're giving those neckbeards too much credit.
They had 25 years and Windows still kicks Linux's face in for desktop use.
>>53596287
Are you going to tell us?
>>53603263
porting isnt the same as writing whole os, they just have to find all winapi calls and replace with linux equivalent
>>53596337
>The UI looks horrible though
It looks like any other ui in any other professional software.
Sorry it's not windows 8
>>53595960
Nice
>>53595960
>>53595960
I have an excuse: I can't fucking draw.
I think this is huge.
What have amateur cartoonists been using up till now to create 2D animations? Just Flash? I know that Flash has been incredibly prominent for well over a decade. Has it been literally the only option for the masses?
What the fuck is going on in this thread?
>top anime studio software goes open source
>fuck off back to /co/ no one cares about cartoons on /g/
This kills the 4chan
>>53596321
Keyframes are drawn on paper, they are then scanned and cleaned up. Then they are put together, the director then can okay the cut or request parts or the whole thing to be redone.
Once a cut is okayed the in between frames are drawn then it is coloured. After that special effects may be overlaid (bloom, lens flares, distortion)
Sound has been mixed since the keyframes were okayed. 3d would have been done before or during key framing
All the elements are then put together to make the cut. repeat many times and you get an episode of your favourite anime.

The amount of shitty cartoons will be even greater now. Just what we needed...
It is interesting from a business standpoint. It will not result in more cartoons being made as those with the patience skill and desire to make them would not be deterred by the price of the software.

Forever dollar saved in software 1.50 gets spend on people making cartoons
it's like a fiscal multiplier

Some cartoons have more depth than live action film especially if you like science fiction. They usually have more creative freedom, too

/g/ is one of the worst shitholes I've ever browsed. I don't know what happened. It's all consumerist bullshit, GPU wars, nonstop generals, etc. The only reason to browse this board is for shit like AlphaGo, but that doesn't happen to often.
On OP's topic, that is very great news. I'm guessing freelance animators are creaming their pants.
>>53603263
This is anime software. It will be ported to GNU/Linux within a month. There is a huge overlap between the weeb community and the freetard community.

The same software in its pirated version. literally nothing changes
>>53606743
That's fucking it
Stop using Linux on every device and write an RTOS for everything yourself.
Also stop using Linux software to run all the servers. In fact stop using open source software at all
We'll see how that turns out
>>53607022
>there's no difference between using a pirating proprietary software and downloading FOSS source of the same software
Please leave
Please for fucks sake leave
>>53607022
Except your company - and let's face it, most users of this kind of software is companies - can't get raided for using it illegally, and as recently as half a year ago such a raid happened in Poland of all places.
>>53600292
I'm still waiting for my money about the TextMate bet
>>53597997
That looks more like Live2D
Took a look at the video, it can do most of what toonboom can at least from the video (and it's plastic deformer looks more complex than the deformer toonboom has).
However, i didn't see any way to bind things to a color as a mask, or to have overlay/underlay/line/colour layers within a single layer, which is quite a bummer. Also didn't see any patching ability (overlap two limbs or objects and have a color in the color layer overlap the line art of both to create a seamless hand or anything else, in their puppet video the arm was clipping quite badly in puppet mode and in deformer plastic mode the limbs were growing in size which is not what you want for limbs).
Will have to wait and see when it comes out whether it has those.
Also, all those fucking articles about how everyone is gonna be an animator now. My fucking sides, only a tiny percentage will use this who are already animators (or a few who will get into it).
Everyone else will try it for an hour, realize how fucking hard it is to make anything and quit.
>>53597997
>>53607182
That's all 2d after effects, and that's using the 3d envelop deformer thing which toonz has so you could do that kind of "animation" in there if you want.
>>53595960
Don't know about porting the program to other OSs, but the raster-to-vector algorithms will be interesting to look at and extract for use in other tools.

>>53595960
Cool. More free (libre) software can't be a bad thing.
Nabadaimean?
>>53607367
No. Too much free software can disperse efforts that could be used to make a single project excellent into several mediocre projects.
>>53596067
Only adobe flash was used for animations - which now is called adobe animator because Flash is slowly dying and in order to help their software survive they offer HTML5 export for w/e you work in adobe flash now called adobe animator... lmao.
But it's no where compared to Toonz - I worked with it many years ago.
As a single person you could do many people work just with the use of tool.
