Tahoma2D
Tool for production of 2D and stop motion animation with timeline editing, drawing frame control, and lip sync integration
&
| + | Simplified workspace | Arranges interface elements by placing tools, timeline, and panels in a set configuration that supports access to drawing and editing |
|---|---|---|
| + | Style Set management | Organizes and controls drawing settings and brush styles in one module, allowing consistency across different scenes and frames. |
| + | Easier project management | Provides a system that organizes project files, scenes, and assets, allowing users to navigate among scenes and frames without extra file handling. |
| + | Implicit holds | Retains the current image display on the timeline until a new image is inserted, a hold is terminated, or the scene ends, removing the need to add repeated frames manually. |
| + | Perspective Grid Tool | Displays a grid overlay with perspective guidelines to assist users in aligning elements during drawing, ensuring correct placement in a scene. |
| + | Symmetry Tool | Mirrors drawing input along a defined axis, eliminating the need for manual duplication when working on symmetrical designs. |
| + | Referenced fills | Applies fills by referencing boundary data from other layers, which supports integration of layer information during color fill operations. |
| + | Live Clipping Masks | Displays a temporary mask over layers that restricts drawing to defined boundaries, allowing work on specified sections without modifying the original layer. |
| + | Timeline/Xsheet Folders | Groups frames and layers into folders within the timeline or xsheet view, enabling structured organization of elements in a scene. |
| + | Rhubarb Lip Sync integration | Connects with Rhubarb Lip Sync to process audio and automatically map mouth shapes to frames, removing the need for manual lip shape matching. |
| + | Status bar | Provides hints and instructions on a status bar during interaction, guiding users through tool functions as they work. |
| + | DSLR Camera Support | Supports capture and integration of images from DSLR cameras on Windows, macOS, and Linux, enabling capture-based imaging for stop-motion projects. |
| + | Raster Drawing Capabilities | Enables creation and modification of images using pixel-based methods, supporting frame-level editing for detailed drawings. |
| + | Customizable Shortcut Keys | Allows assignment of keyboard shortcuts to frequent actions, supporting access to commands without navigating through menus. |
| + | Layer Compositing Tools | Provides a method for managing and merging multiple drawing layers into one final output, supporting the combination of distinct elements in a scene. |
| - | Absence of In-App Tutorials | The application does not include internal tutorials or guided help, which means users must search for instructions through online resources. |
| - | Learning Curve | Users new to similar software must allocate time to understand the interface and workflow functions, as the system requires practice. |
| - | Documentation Update Lag | Function revisions may reach users before the documentation is updated, which requires users to search for the latest instructions via online forums or guides. |
