What is OpenToonz?

OpenToonz is an animation software that is open-source and has roots in the "Toonz" software developed by the Italian company Digital Video S.p.A., which was enhanced by Studio Ghibli for its unique artistic vision. The OpenToonz project, launched through a collaboration between Digital Video and Dwango alongside Studio Ghibli, provides a free tool for both commercial and non-commercial use, encouraging a wide range of creative possibilities. Users have the ability to modify the software's source code, which promotes both innovation and artistic expression in the animation field. Our commitment lies in creating a new platform that connects academic research with advanced animation production, ultimately boosting the collaboration between these two disciplines. By doing so, we hope to motivate aspiring animators and researchers, nurturing a vibrant community that thrives on creativity and exploration. This initiative is poised to pave the way for future advancements in both animation technology and academic inquiry.

What is Blender?

Blender is a highly adaptable 3D creation suite that is free and open-source, making it accessible to a wide range of users. It covers the entire 3D production process, which includes modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing, motion tracking, video editing, and even offers a workflow for 2D animation. The platform is equipped with Cycles, a sophisticated unbiased path-tracing engine that produces incredibly lifelike renderings. Users can effortlessly create, modify, and edit their 3D models thanks to its comprehensive set of modeling tools. VFX experts have lauded it as “arguably the best tracker available in the market.” Blender also provides strong camera and object tracking functionalities, allowing users to import raw footage, track it, mask certain areas, and visualize real-time camera movements within their 3D space, all without the need to switch between different applications. Additionally, its superior rigging and animation capabilities have made it a popular choice for a variety of projects, including short films, commercials, television shows, and full-length features, demonstrating its significant influence on the creative industry. As a result, Blender remains a preferred resource for artists and creators eager to explore new dimensions of 3D visualization, continually evolving to meet the demands of its users.
