Synfig Studio Software



Synfig Studio is a free and open source 2D animation creator software download filed under image animation software and made available by Robert Quattlebaum for Windows.

Synfig Studio is a 2D animation software, designed as powerful industrial-strength solution for creating film-quality animation using a vector and bitmap artwork. It eliminates the need to create animation frame-by frame, allowing you to produce 2D animation of a higher quality with fewer people and resources. The software is for windows 7 and up, Mac os 10.7 and up also linux. Includes both 32 and 64 bit versions (Windows) and 32 bit version (Mac) Also Linux Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based 2D animation software package, designed from the ground-up for producing feature-film quality 2D animation using a vector and bitmap artwork.

The review for Synfig Studio has not been completed yet, but it was tested by an editor here on a PC and a list of features has been compiled; see below.

Free bitmap animation software with tweening and fluid motion

Synfig Studio is a 2D animation application that enables you to produce film-quality animations using bitmaps.

While there are many other programs currently on the market to aid with the efficient production of 2D animation, we are currently unaware of any other software that can do what our software can.

2D Animation has traditionally been very expensive because every frame must be drawn by hand. Even with today's digital inking and painting software, the process still relies on individuals hand-drawing each frame. This laborious task is called 'tweening'.

Our animation technology eliminates the task of manual tweening, producing smooth, fluid motion without the animator having to draw out each frame individually.

This allows you to produce 2D animation with fewer people while producing a product of a higher quality.

  5. 2D Animation Creation Software

Synfig Studio is a powerful open source application for creating high quality 2D animations with bitmap and vector graphics.

Synfig Studio Software

The program speeds up the animation process by removing the need to create each frame individually. Instead you can have Synfig Studio generate your frames itself by morphing from one image to another, or applying one or more transformations to individual shapes (rotation, scale etc).

Studio

Alternatively, if you'd like to use a frame-by-frame source, the program's tracing tools will help you convert it into vector shapes which you can then manipulate with its other tools.

Features include a comprehensive bone system, bitmap painting engine, path-based gradients, a wide range of layers ('geometric, gradients, filters, distortions, transformations, fractal and a few others'), while High Dynamic-Range Imaging reportedly delivers 'better lighting effects, and improved color composition'.

Version 1.3.6 changes include:

Verdict:

Synfig Studio 2d Animation Software

Synfig Studio is a versatile application which can help you produce anything from a simple web animation (move this object from here to there) to a professional film-quality animated movie. It's also vast and takes time and effort to learn, but if you have the motivation then there's plenty of high quality documentation to explore.
