Technology

AnimDesk is using one of the best 2D animation softwares out there on the market. Developed in France, TVPaint Animation is the leading paperless drawing and animation tool, able to imitate traditional techniques such as Pen Brush, Gouache, Watercolour, Pencil, Felt-tip and Airbrush, and animate them over frames.

Using TVPaint Animation, we can create an animated movie from start to finish, including story-boarding and all the steps (rough, clean-up, keyframes and in-betweening) through to final compositing (using built-in tools such as xsheet, project manager, camera movements, plug-ins and many more).

Hardware

For animating, AnimDesk is using the Cintiq 21UX interactive pen display by Wacom for full animating potential. With 2,048 pressure levels, designing characters, drawing backgrounds, creating storyboards and finally animating has become an amazing experience for animators at AnimDesk.
