Tapptoons Animation Studio offers animation artists a platform to create high-quality animation in AVI or bitmap format, suitable for use in various computer editing systems.
One of the most useful features that it offers is a linetester that enables animators to work their way through a scene in a rough, sketchy style to get a sense of the character's motion. By using a computer with input from either a videocamera or a flatbed scanner, linetests help animators and directors get feedback and improve their work before seeking approval.
The linetester is not designed for the viewing public, but rather serves as a tool to aid the cleanup process. The pencil line quality is cleaned-up once the scene is approved, and this facilitates the addition of colors and effects.
Tapptoons Animation Studio has a wide range of features, including the ability to import scans from scanners or videos captured via a compatible capture card, as well as the ability to draw frames directly into the computer using a mouse or graphic tablet and pen. It also supports a variety of video output resolutions, and has ten animation levels and one background level.
Additionally, it offers users the option to choose their line color and erase unwanted match lines. It even comes with pre-programmed snow and rain effects, adding more depth and visual appeal to your work. Users can move backgrounds and individual levels in any direction, and backgrounds can be constructed continuously or imported from existing artwork. Backgrounds can also be drawn directly into the computer system.
With semi-transparent levels, or a combination of levels, users can build "ghost" effects, oscillating between transparent and opaque throughout their animation. Tapptoons Animation Studio is an amazing tool to help bring life to your art, and makes creating high-quality animations a breeze!
