]]> Speaking of graphics and tools, I read about a software called KToon. It allows you to make 2D animation and you could export the files in SWF and PNG formats. You’ve got a grid where you could draw on each frame and you even have an ‘onion skin’ mode so that you see the frames before your current frame. It’s as if you really were using onion skin paper and drawing your frames there. It will give you an idea of what your previous frame looks like against the current one so you could use it as basis of your cartoon’s consistency.

Requirements:

  • Any Unix Operating System (if it is free, better!)
  • QT 4.1.1 or higher
  • 256 MB on RAM
  • 800Mhz or higher (Processor Speed)
  • Disk space: at least 5 MB free

    • I don’t have much of an iclination for animation but I have friends who do. This might be worth checking out. Unless you have other recommendations, that is :D
