Synfig 2D vector animation program opens source (NewsForge)

[Posted January 24, 2006 by ris]

NewsForge takes a look at Synfig, a 2D animation tool. "In addition to basic motion, Synfig integrates some video-processing tools useful to the animator, including filter and transformation layers. Filter layers allow effects like shading, focusing and blurring, and color correction, so that the animator can add camera effects to the finished animation without redrawing the scene elements. Transformation layers enable distortion effects for reflections, rippling water, and other events. Synfig uses OpenEXR to store all projects in high dynamic-range format, and it can output to any resolution."
