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.

    WORST

    Summary

    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.

    Positive

    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.

    Negative

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