Papagayo 2.0 beta version now available

[Lost Marble]

Well here's some unexpected good news...

Papagayo version 2.0 is now available! Right now it's a beta release, but you can get it now and give it a spin.

Version 2 is basically the same thing as version 1, at least as far as workflow goes. But the application has been completely rewritten. Papagayo was a weird hybrid Python application, and this meant it was hard to maintain, performance could be slow, and compatibility between OS versions was a problem (especially on Mac).

Papagayo 2 has been rewritten in C++ and promises a better base for going forward. I'm open to suggestions about new features, particularly other export formats. I know some people are using Papagayo with software besides Anime Studio, and I'm fully in support of that.

Anyway, go download the new version, give it a try, and let me know what you think.

Those are great news!
Are you going to eventually disclose the source code?

There goes my free afternoon.

Cool!

I'm curious to see if this will work for our workflow, and in ...Dutch.

Does it only work with Switchlayers or could we also construct mouths with smart bones and phoneme actions?

The source code is already posted on that same page. The old version of Papagayo linked to a closed source binary library that I couldn't totally open up. This new one is totally open. I haven't built a Linux version, but it should be possible.

Right now it only works with Switch layers. Working with smart bones would require some kind of change in Anime Studio, or maybe a script that could import Papagayo data files and apply them to a selected set of smart bones.

Sounds doable

Unfortunately I can't get it to build on Linux. I do have Qt 5.2.1, and the system is Fedora 20, 32bit.

Code: Select all

$ qmake-qt5 Papagayo.pro
WARNING: extra_libs.path is not defined: install target not created

If I regenerate Papagayo.pro with 'qmake-qt5 -project', I get further than that, but then I end up with this:

Code: Select all

g++ -c -pipe -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches -m32 -march=i686 -mtune=atom -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -fPIE -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I/usr/lib/qt5/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I. -Ilibsndfile_1.0.19 -Ilibsndfile_1.0.19/G72x -Ilibsndfile_1.0.19/GSM610 -Isrc -I/usr/include/qt5 -I/usr/include/qt5/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt5/QtCore -I. -o breakdowndialog.o src/breakdowndialog.cpp

What do I need to do?

I've moved the sources to a GitHub repository for anyone who wants to poke around, try building on Linux, or whatever else:

Oh, I overthought this. Actually, running qmake with the stock Papagayo.pro works just fine. I got this running and working.

VERY happy to see this!

Have already started testing it out on a Mac running 10.9. Will try it on Yosemite this week.

Shocked and excited to find this ! Thank you Mike !

Our group of lighting enthusiasts has 100s of users of papagayo. Very active users building and sharing .pgo files of songs.

You have to use a program to translate Papagayo into something that would work with Opentoonz. I would love to see a version of it that would work with Opentoonz.
