About Toonz and what it is :-

[cOdEgUru]

Toonz is a complete 2D animation system designed to meet the rigorous production criteria of the modern cel animation industry while preserving the integrity of the animator's work.

Toonz allows artists to capture the emotive quality of their hand-drawn art. It also simplifies and accelerates the production process allowing artists to fast forward through the more tedious steps like inking and painting and focus more on the creative aspects of production. Artists can then augment their work through advanced digital compositing and special effects.

Toonz is used extensively in feature film, commercial, video, and interactive media productions.

Designed by cel animation artists and producers, Toonz is an exposure sheet-driven digital ink and paint program that precisely traces the steps of traditional hand-drawn animation, while giving you all the efficiencies and options of a digitized medium.

Toonz behaves like a traditional toolset, but contains powerful tools that automate time-consuming tasks. Easy to learn, animators can become productive almost immediately. Flexible database management tools provide quick and easy access to your work. Recent improvements include faster render and preview speeds.
