Overview
TVPaint Animation is a 2D animation software leveraging bitmap technology to emulate traditional hand-drawn animation. It offers a modular interface, customizable brushes, and layering systems, catering to professional animation workflows. The standard version includes essential tools like a light table, scan cleaner, and effects, while the professional version adds features like TVPaint Converter, storyboarding tools, bitmap rigging, and intelligent colorization.
