I'm supportive of any FOSS software, but like GIMP the UI doesn't look or feel right for me personally. I think Blender 2.8+ features/UI for 2d animation is much more interesting and usable.
- hellofunk 6y agoThat same clip has been going around for nearly a decade. Shame there’s little more to show for the software; I think that’s telling in its own right.
- Mathnerd314 6y agoThere are more recent videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecVv2IB7f5k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecVv2IB7f5k Here is "Hero" made with Blender, for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKmSdY56VtY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKmSdY56VtY Blender's pseudo-3D has more freedom with camera moves, but the capabilities look pretty similar otherwise.
- jancsika 6y agoBoth clips are impressive. I guess the question is: how powerful/useful are the tweening and "bones" features of synfig? I see what look like obvious examples of those features in the demo. The Genndy Tartakovsky style of the other demo kind of obscures whether those features are similar in blender.
- neuromute 6y agoIt hasn’t been mentioned in this thread yet, but OpenToonz seems like another fantastic piece of FLOSS software for 2D animation. If it’s good enough for Studio Ghibli and Matt Groening (Futurama), then I dare say it’s good enough for a great many other animators.
