About Synfig Studio

Synfig Studio is a free and open-source 2D animation software, designed as a powerful industrial-strength solution for creating film-quality animation using a vector and bitmap artwork. It eliminates the need to create frame-by-frame animation, allowing you to produce 2D animation of a higher quality with fewer people and resources. Transform any vector shape into another! Synfig gives you powerful tools for full control of your vector artwork. Just set the key positions and the intermediate frames will be calculated automatically. Synfig provides more than 50 layers to create illustrations and animations of any complexity. Choose from several types of layers: geometry, gradients, filters, distortions, transformations, fractals and others. The full-featured bone system allows you to create cutout animations using bitmap images or control your vector artwork.

Live2D
Live2D
This technology is often compared to 3D animation. However with 3D animation, an entirely new model is constructed based on the original illustration, while Live2D utilizes the original illustration directly. This allows you to provide dynamic expressions while directly harnessing the charm of the drawn character. The use of Live2D software technology breathes life into your drawn character and generates a much greater effect from the static art. This will help your audience develop a stronger emotional attachment to the character. Many of the works created using Live2D have their origins in traditional 2D, whether a visual novel or famous illustration. This demonstrates that 2D artists and fans value Live2D’s advantage in preserving the authenticity and rich graphics of the original 2D art rendered in modern applications.

    "Awesome. "

    Posted 2020-09-03

    Pros: Many features (just for free) that can reduce the great effort to animation beginners (who may be weak in the drawing).

    Cons: Takes too long to master it. In the beginning, the interface looks like an impossible task to accomplish.

    Overall: At the start, I thought that Synfig isn't for people like me who come to make fun with animation. After getting used to it, it felt awesome to use numerous great features without wasting a penny.
