Simple animation planning tool. #Create drawing #Design painting #Draw animation #Draw #Sketch #Design
Pencil is a simple animation planning program for Mac OS X. It should help character animators quickly plan out a shot and allow easy timing adjustments.
Pencil will allow you to easily create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics.
Limitations in the unregistered version
- Drawing area is of a fixed 640x480 size.
- Animations must start at frame 0. You'll notice that's the only key you can't move/delete. Frame 0 is always there!
- Save/Load *might* have some problems.
- Copy/Paste/Undo don't exist (yet?)
- Timeline scrubbing ain't proper when scrubbing backwards(again, yet?)
What's new in Pencil 0.4.4 Beta:
- Changed the way documents are saved: vector graphics are now saved in separate xml files. Saving files now rewrites only the changed images. Attention: Pencil 0.4.3b will not open the new document format 0.4.4b.
- autosave option.
- Vector graphics file (.vec) can be imported at specific frames.
- Improved the brush in bitmap mode. Introduced "preserve alpha" and "stop at contour" options.
