needs condensing - OpenToonz is an industry level 2D animation software notably used by Studio Ghibli. The software is open source and free to download and use for personal, professional, or educational use. It features vector and bitmap drawing tools with full support for graphic tablets, allowing you to create artwork of any complexity. Indexed colour palettes keep your colors consistent frame to frame, and palette colors can be edited at any time, updating automatically throughout your drawings. Create special effects and composite scenes seamlessly with blurs, lighting, keys, masks, warps and more than 100 other effects available. Routine tasks can be automated by using ECMA-compatible scripting engine and motion tracking synchronizes your animation with video footage automatically. Scan and cleanup paper drawings and paint them in a digital environment. Animation tools also feature a complete toolset for traditional frame-by-frame animation with configurable onionskin. Automatic creation of inbetween frames is available for vector shapes. Complex movements can be defined by linking objects or using motion paths, and everything can be also animated in a 3D environment, with an automatic multiplane effect. You can also animate your characters using bones, with IK support and mesh deformations. Particle systems also support creating effects in multiple layers or as control images for particles animation.
