#22Unimportant but confounding - They have one of the oddest logos I have ever seen. What is it? Please help.
Cartoon dragon face?
It's the outline of a cartoon wolf. The same wolf in this boxart: http://www.toonz.com/htm/products/prod63B.htm

thx for the quick intro to the world of 2D animations. Most of us on HN are not familiar with this but we're creative people and I'm sure many others just like me, would love to use these tools someday.... someday...
If you are interested in 2D animation software there are a few others that are worth mentioning. These packages are usually either vector based or raster based. Of the vector based I recall: - Anime Studio - Toon Boom Studio/Harmony/Animate - Macromedia/Adobe Flash/Animate - Synfig Studio (Open Source) Of the raster based: - Celsys Retas - Toonz Harlequin/Bravo - TVPaint Animation There are some others in both catego…
There's also VPaint, an open source animation program (currently in beta) for Windows and Mac.
The description on their site: "VPaint is an experimental vector graphics editor based on the Vector Animation Complex (VAC), a technology developed by a collaboration of researchers at Inria and the University of British Columbia, featured at SIGGRAPH 2015. It allows you to create resolution-independent illustrations and animations using innovative techniques."

#24I wonder whether deep learning techniques have been applied to cartoon drawing. Unfortunately, when I search for "deep learning" and "cartoons", I only find cartoons about deep learning :/

I'm not aware of anything serious, but there's some work in using Generative Adversarial Networks to generate anime profile pictures. Scroll down here: https://github.com/mattya/chainer-DCGAN
There's also some success in teaching recurrent neural networks to draw numbers or generate handwriting.
But all of these (even the anime profile shots) are very structured. "Creativity" is still a long, long ways away.

#26Good info, thank you for the post. Like others, I'm eagerly waiting for the release to try it out. From the screenshots, it looked to be Windows-based. I wonder if they support other platforms. Curious about language, build steps... Well, we'll see next Friday!
Toonz dates back quite far, so it's probably C++ relatively deeply tied to Windows APIs.

Blender, recently improved its grease pencil tool, which was used for only quick 2d sketches in a 3d scene:

Many years ago it's had Linux and IRIX versions (Toonz 4.6): http://www.toonz.com/htm/products/46productline/prodtoonzreq...
So there is chance it's might be still fairly cross-platform.

I couldn't find infos on that anime anywhere, mind sharing a link?
