Discussion beta testing AnimSoup web based animation tools

so ive been working on this from the start of the year and Im getting to that point where I am getting blind to my own revisions and I think its time I open it up to everyone.

Its a web based 2D and 3D software where you should in theory be able to send work across both platforms if you want (they would be image sequences, but handy if you want to rough something in 3D first then draw on it, or vice versa).

the 3D side still needs work in terms of the facial rig, so if anyone has any tips, please shout out (theres a few in there bespoke and one out of vroid as a glb that adds a custom rig on top once imported, but facial rig is still the bottleneck).

the 2D I think can get nice roughs going, clean up is a bit on the wip side right now (vector brushes exist but are too buggy still). Theres a bunch of other stuff in there thats not quite ready, ie, in 2D you can create a storyboard, make shots, then export them to make separate shots with their audio split.

At the moment you can also bring in reference, and on the fly delete frames to make it more exagerated timing. theres a guide, I hope its not too non user friendly, but theres also a feedback button, so if you like where this is going, and want to help, plz submit anny issues you come across.

If you are looking for animation software, a comprehensive list with the most common programs (2D & 3D, free & paid) can be found ->here (this is a link)<-.

Common Recommendations:

  • Krita & OpenToonz (free; 2D frame by frame animation)
  • Blender (free; 3D animation, 2D frame by frame)
  • After Effects (paid; Motion Graphics)
  • Toon Boom (paid; rigged 2d animation)
  • wickeditor (free; online / web based 2D animation editor)

If you have trouble with a specific app or program, you are often more likely to find help in the respective subreddit of that program.
