About OpenToonz

Based on the software "Toonz", developed by Digital Video S.p.A. in Italy, OpenToonz has been customized by Studio Ghibli, and used for the creation of its works for many years. Dwango has launched the OpenToonz project in cooperation with Digital Video and Studio Ghibli. OpenToonz can be used free of charge for both commercial and non-commercial projects. Available as an open-source so that anyone can modify its source code freely. We aim to develop a new platform for connecting the academic research with cutting edge animation production.

    "WORST"

    Edited 2024-07-30

    Pros: Animation, EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK A MILLION YEARS TO DRAW SOMETHING TO ANIMATE. so pretty much nothing

    PLEASE I AM A ZELDA FAN WHO WANTS TO ANIMATE! IT IS MY DREAM! But OpenToonz ruins it all. destroys dreams, destroys the life of my Linkle.

    Cons: Everything else. ruins my drawings when i work on them. crashes and deletes my work.

    Overall: I was working on an animation for YouTube about Zelda. when i was drawing linkle it just RUINED her. i don't know why. and i press the undo button but it didn't fix it. i want to make a link's awakening movie but it ruins EVERYTHING. I am new to animation and i want to learn, but all the animators cost so much. i hate OpenToonz. very much. zero stars. if it wasn't so glitchy i would love it. i do not recommend it. you'll be making an animation you have been working on forever, but OpenToonz will ruin it. not worth it.
