State of the art real-time vector engine
Toon Boom Digital Pro lets you draw accurately using both centre and contour lines with line textures for a natural media look and feel. Within one application, users can draw original art, import digital pictures or reuse predefined assets from a library, set-up scenes in a 3D environment and move the camera in real-time. You can also animate frame-by-frame or use rigged characters with advanced inverse kinematics and morphing, add stunning special effects and finally render to any media. Resolution independent, Toon Boom Digital Pro supports high resolution bitmaps up to 10K. It outputs to every media from web and handheld devices to Film and HD.
Set in a 3D space, Toon Boom Digital Pro offers a real-time multi-plane camera to place your elements at different depths and automatically preserve their perspective. You can easily add a depth of field effect for an even more realistic render.
Artistic Style Unleashed
With Toon Boom Digital Pro, you can develop any project from cut-out animation to frame-by-frame without having to compromise quality or style. You can mix cut-out characters with traditional vector animation over bitmap of 3D rendered object. Toon Boom Digital Pro does it all.
Unparalleled Image Quality
Toon Boom Digital Pro is based on a state of the art real-time vector engine. Draw using both centre and contour lines with line textures for a natural media look and feel. Resolution independent, Toon Boom Digital Pro supports high resolution bitmaps up to 10K. It outputs to every media from web and handheld devices to Film and HD.
The power of Toon Boom Digital Pro reaches a new peak during compositing due to its availability any time during the production. Manipulate the effect network to apply any combination of effects on elements in real-time. Select from over fifty special effects, ranging from blurs to colour correction and exclusive Glue effect for automatic joints. Make changes as needed and see them implemented instantly due to interconnected windows.
Since animation is all about timing, there is no compromise with Toon Boom Digital Pro. Easily perform frame tweening using the timeline; expose your drawing using the Xsheet or fine tune your speed curve in the function editor, everything you need is available, including real-time playback with audio.
Advanced Palette Management
Thanks to the ID-based palette built into Toon Boom Digital Pro, you can create colour models with independent palettes and easily change colours of any element at any time during production, all in real-time. Mix several palettes on one drawing with the palette list and switch them as needed to set different moods.
It is no coincidence that Toon Boom Digital Pro is the technology of choice for the leading studios worldwide. It includes the most advanced toolset with a rigging tool made for robust framework, morphing capabilities for automatic in-betweens, inverse kinematics for natural looking animation, automated lip-sync tools for instant mouth synchronisation with dialogue, and even multiple onion skins, a virtual light table, and a rotary animation disk.
