![]() ![]() It is geared towards ease-of-use and accessibility but it still has a lot of issues or missing features that require improvement. ![]() Pencil2D is a bitmap / vector animation software meant to serve as a CAD software (Computer Assisted Drawing) for traditional animation. Pencil2D: Originally we didn’t include ourselves, but for completeness sake here we are. NOTE: Click the software name to visit their respective websites There are relatively few free (as in freedom) 2D animation packages that exist out there, but here we’ll take some time to recommend the closest alternatives for hand-drawn animation software in the market to ![]() Note: We’ve updated and re purposed our desktop animation software alternative list to stop using the original reply we had for an unsatisfied user on a different issue. So when you import the different layers of your background into ToonBoom what file type do you save the krita files as? I don’t want to lose any quality or have any conversion errors when I import into ToonBoom.Alternative Desktop Animation Software (Pencil2D Curated List) All I could find was how to turn on the grid and rulers but they were kind of distracting. Wow I didn’t know Krita has perspective assistants I even searched for them. I’m going to have to check out ClipStudio too. For example, you won’t find perspective assistants to help you draw in perspective easily in Photoshop. And both are much more focused on drawing and painting compared to Photoshop. Krita has better brushes and more brush control (in my opinion), and ClipStudio’s drawing feel is the best out there (in my opinion again). Myself, I prefer both Krita and ClipStudio for digital drawing and painting. When you stop paying the rent, you lose access to Photoshop. ![]() You pay 10 dollars a month for the Photographer’s plan. Only Photoshop CC is available, and only for rent. Do I just have to plan this stuff out as I draw my backgrounds and save the layers of one background scene into individual files in order to bring in the distant stuff, draw my animations, and then bring in the foreground stuff? Thanks for any help! Is there a way to import my bitmap scene or save it as a certain file type from Krita so that when I bring it into Toonboom it will keep all those layers separate so that I can still animate in between the layers? Obviously I want my characters in front of the distant treeline but behind the sidewalk railing otherwise it wouldn’t look good. Once I started having a cool background scene come together it clicked with me that I will need to be animating WITHIN the scene which means I need my animations in front of the distant scenery, yet behind the foreground stuff (side rails and bushes). I have been using Krita since you told me and I’m finally beginning to do cool things with the program. Krita is open source and free, and offers much nicer painting and drawing tools compared to Photoshop (in my opinion and experience). I do mine in Krita (excellent bitmap painting tools with nice perspective guides), PhotoLine (for more photoshop like compositing of photos and painted work in Krita) and Blender for 3d components and sometimes basic shapes for overpainting.Īny good bitmap editor with good painting tools will suffice, though. For more detailed backgrounds I really wouldn’t use (or ever want to use) Harmony. ![]()
