Software for the production of 2D animation

OpenToonz is an open-source full-featured 2D animation creation software.

It has a range of features that allow animators to create traditional hand-drawn animations, as well as digital animations, using a variety of tools such as brushes, pencils, and vectors. It also includes features for compositing, 3D integration, and special effects.

One of the standout features of OpenToonz is the ability to use a technique called "vectorization", which allows animators to convert raster images into scalable vector images. This makes it easier to animate characters and objects with smoother lines and cleaner edges.
