OpenToonz, the free animation software used by Studio Ghibli, now available

Open Toonz

Just last week we had the great surprise that the ToonZ animation software, used by Studio Ghibli for their animated films or by Matt Groening's Futurama series, it would be released completely free of charge and even with the customization carried out by the creators of Princess Mononoke among other works of cinema art.

Today we can say that free software now available animation called Opentoonz and that you can download from the GitHub repository to access its virtues. A high quality 2D animation software suite that will allow many users to access a great platform from which to launch new productions.

This free availability even will get Adobe and Toonboom to improve their offerings for 2D animation that can already be accessed from today with Opentoonz.

Dwango has stated that the free license software is available freely for any type of project, even if it is commercial. Apart from the main animation package, Dwango has launched an effects development kit for advanced image processing such as distortion or lighting effects.

GTS is another free program added for sequential scan of drawings made by hand. The other great idea from Dwango is to offer high-quality software to those who are starting their first steps in learning animation.

It must be said that this software tool will not create movies or shorts by itself, since needs a lot from the cartoonist or animator to create highly finished animation pieces. It does not have the drawing options that other software programs have, so it is made to be able to scan the drawings and assemble them to achieve a final result.

It has X-sheet functionality and is now the best free animation option of the moment.

Download it from github.io
