SOFTIMAGE|TOONZ is the best cartoon animation software system in the world. It can run on IRIX platform of SGI super workstation and windows NT platform of PC, and is widely used in cartoon animation series, music films, educational films, advertising films and so on.
TOONZ uses a scanner to digitally input the pencil sketches drawn by the animators into the computer, and then carries out line processing on the drawings, detects the drawings, splices the background images to configure the color palette, colors the drawings, establishes a photographic table, synthesizes the color drawings with the background, adds special effects, synthesizes the previews, and generates the final images. Use different output devices to output the results to video tapes, movies, HDTV and other visual media.
The use of TOONZ not only retains your familiar workflow, but also retains your unique artistic style. At the same time, you throw away the heavy labor of manual coloring, the repeated labor of remaking with the camera and the waste of film, get real-time preview effect, smooth cooperation mode, and quickly reach the high quality level you need.
An epoch-making professional 2D animation production system —— RETAS PRO for PC and Mac
RETAS is a professional two-dimensional animation production system developed by Celsys Co., Ltd. in Japan, which is applied to ordinary PCs and Macs. The full name is the total animation system of revolutionary engineering.
It mainly consists of four parts:
Traceman-scan a large number of animations into the computer through the scanner and scan lines.
PaintMan-a high-quality coloring software that makes batch coloring easier and faster?
CoreRETAS and rend dog—— Using brand-new mathematical tools, they have realized all the characteristics that traditional animation photography can express, and have a high degree of freedom of expression. In addition, each scene synthesized in CoreRETAS can be output in various file formats and graphic resolutions.
QuickChecker 1.0-flexible line shooting software to ensure the highest quality animation?
RETASPRO won the first prize of the 48th Japan Film and Television Technology Association because of its excellent performance and reliable price.
RETAS PRO is a professional two-dimensional animation production system developed by Celsys Co., Ltd. in Japan, which is applied to ordinary PCs and Macs. Its appearance quickly fills the gap that there is no professional two-dimensional animation production system on PC and MAC. Since 1993 10 was released in Japan in October, retas4.1window95,98 &; With the successful production of NT and Mac versions, RETAS PRO has occupied more than 80% market share in the Japanese animation industry, and has been ranked first in Japanese animation software sales in the past four years. More than 100 animation companies in Japan have used RETAS PRO, among which Dongying, Sunrise, TokyoMovie (using RETAS PRO to make Rubin III of Lubang) and TMS (using RETAS PRO to make Spider-Man of Spider-Man) are famous. Yoyogi Animation School, a famous Japanese animation school, and Hudson and Konami, famous game producers, also used RETAS PRO.
The production process of RETAS PRO is very similar to the traditional animation production process, and mainly consists of four modules, which replaces the whole process of drawing lines, coloring, making photo tables, special effects processing and shooting synthesis in traditional animation production. At the same time, RETAS PRO can not only make two-dimensional animation, but also synthesize real scenes and computer three-dimensional images. RETAS PRO can be widely used in movies, TV, games, CDs and other fields.
English and Japanese versions of RETAS PRO enjoy a high reputation in Japan, Europe, the United States and Southeast Asia. Now the Chinese version will bring a new era of computer animation to China animation industry.
It stands for "Green Six" and so on.
PS: The latest RETAS PRO has the function of a pressure-sensitive pen in the photo table, which means that you can draw animation directly in the photo table without using paper. His personal edition also supports this function, which is the paperless animation popular in Japan now.
USAnimation is the world's first 2D cartoon production system.
The most practical creative tool
With the application of USanimation, you will get the most powerful arsenal in the industry to serve your creation, allowing you to freely create effects unimaginable by traditional cartoon technology. Easily combine 2D animation and 3D images. Using multi-plane shooting, rotary focusing can push and pull the moving lens, infinite palette and infinite layers. USanimation is the only absolutely innovative interconnected synthesis system. After any layer is modified, the simulation effect of all layers can be displayed immediately!
The fastest production speed
Every link in the initial design of USanimation software takes into account how to obtain the fastest production speed at all stages of the whole production process. The automatic scanning and real-time preview of DI quality make the system work quickly. USanimation's vectorization-based coloring system is recognized by the industry as the fastest system. Shadow colors, special effects and highlights are all automatically colored, which saves 30%-40% time in the whole coloring process and will not lose any image quality. USanimation system produces the most perfect "hand-drawn" lines, retaining all the strokes and lines of the artist. When the schedule is stagnant for some reason, the non-parallel synthesis speed and production speed will give you the greatest freedom.
Impressive means and tools!
Production tools include: color modeling, shot planning, dynamic inspection, color filling and line coloring, special effects for synthesis (2D, 3D and real shot) and so on. Including self-generated actions and 3D animation software. Color reference system for cartoon with international standards.
The most professional output quality!
The excellent quality of Usanimation system has been confirmed and tested many times, and the number of products processed by this system is also increasing. At present, there are more than 1800 American animation systems running around the clock in more than 30 countries.
It stands for "beauty and the beast" and so on.
ANIMO two-dimensional cartoon animation production system
ANIMO is a two-dimensional cartoon animation production system developed by Cambridge Animation Company, which runs on SGI O2 workstation and Windows NT platform. It is the most popular and widely used system in the world, and more than 1200 sets of animo systems are used by more than 220 studios in the world. Well-known cartoons & gt,<& lt sky blue >>,<& lt prince of Egypt >; & gt These are all successful examples of applying animo. It has a working interface designed for animators. The scanned draft retains the original lines of the artist. Its quick coloring tool provides the functions of automatic coloring and automatic line sealing, and is integrated with the color model editor to provide unlimited colors and palettes. A color model can set multiple "color assignments". It has a variety of special effects, including lighting, shadows, camera lens push and pull, background blur, water waves, etc., which can be combined with two-dimensional, three-dimensional and real shooting. The visual scene diagram it provides enables the animator to complete complex operations in just a few simple steps, which improves the work efficiency and speed.
Input, output and editing of 3D scenes: 3D models can be imported from 3D scenes, including their positioning, lighting, camera and material information, and displayed together with any 2D drawings or scanned, drawn or synthesized images. This new 3D tool can move, zoom and rotate 3D data, lights and cameras. Three-dimensional animation can be modified by F-curve editor, and all adjustments and modifications can be stored and used in three-dimensional software.
Texture mapping: All 2D elements in Animo 3 can be synthesized in 3D coordinates by using cameras in 3D scenes. Animo's 3D nodes can input 2D elements as textures.
Cartoon rendering: Animo 3' s new image generation module can be used to generate the final 2D and 3D composite scenes. It will display 3D elements in the familiar way of Animo 2D cartoon generation, and artists can also browse and edit animation cartoon images generated in Maya or 3DS Max.
Output 3D data as Animo layer file: 3D data can be directly output as pre-drawn partition Animo layer file and its color designation in Maya or 3DS Max. These areas are defined by material or object icons. These three-dimensional data can also be output as sketches before drawing the basic gray level, which is the most useful feature in two-dimensional and three-dimensional synthesis.
