Blender 2.81 is released today. Complete overhaul of the sculpting workflow, and new Grease Pencil features: * new brushes and presets * self overlap strokes * isometric guides * improved stroke ending * smart smooth with fast strokes * convert curves to Gpencil strokes (import svg, convert, etc.) *...

Wow.

Game changer! Blender 2.82 will import and convert SVG files cleanly to grease pencil layers, ready for 2d animation, cut-out rigging, and more. Check out the preview video:

I second Krita for digital painting and drawing. As for image compositing, I favour PhotoLine. I also have a license of Affinity Photo, but only use that for HDR and focus stacking. Affinity Photo is okay for general comp and image editing work, in my opinion. PhotoLine is much more flexible and out...

New time offset modifier in action.

More GP goodness. VR drawing!

I have extensive experience with Photoshop and stopped using Photoshop a couple of years ago in favour of PhotoLine. I also have a license of Affinity Photo. In short: for me personally Affinity Photo has too many smaller and larger workflow quirks and missing features at this point. The GUI, while ...

OpenToonz v1.3 has just been released. Get it here for free: https://opentoonz.github.io/e/ A huge list of bug fixes and improvements across the board.

Probably scanned in, cleaned up, and coloured in what was Toon Boom back in 2004. It's called a paper-based workflow. The software was used to speed up th...

My idea is to aim it at animators who've never touched Godot before. There are already loads of good developer video tutorials for Godot online, so I think it would be interesting to show Godot as a tool to create animated content with simple interactivity, such animated comics or simple interactive...

Yes, aside from regular animation timelines Godot has an object/node called "AnimatedSprite", which works exactly like that. And the beauty is that these can be freely combined with other timelines. For example, a timeline with a graph editor could control the overall movement of a character, while ...

Last time I created an interactive presentation with short animated sequences, I used the game software Construct2, free edition. The pages it created could be resized to fit any device as a default feature of html5 export. Now I've discovered a new option called GDevelop 5, which is open source an...

This looks nice. Remake of Hilda intro in Blender with Grease Pencil tools.
