@zeldatra Know anything about Cartoon Animator by Reallusion? Looking for something that isn't OpenToonz or a massive monthly subscription for mostly one-off, here-and-there kind of little things.
about 10 months ago from web-
@scribus I unfortunately do not, before they went subscription-only Clip Studio Paint EX was a great low-cost alternative for small projects (but it leaves a lot to be desired for longer projects unless you also have Adobe software for compositing). It didn’t have tweening or anything like that to speed things up though, it relied on the user being familiar with frame by frame. Blender is free and has a 2D workflow but I personally hate the drawing tools. I’ve heard great things about Moho, both versions are one-time purchases, and I was considering switching to it for Swole Foods as it’s easier to learn than ToonBoom, but I can’t personally recommend it as I’m not familiar with it myself.

@zeldatra One major thing I've got is just a simple geometric pattern I want to have rotating externally and counter-rotating on the internal designs, which tbh I could probably write in like eight lines of COBOL or something equally outdated in concept, lol

@scribus Moho or Blender would be your best bets probably, with the latter you could just prep the images in Photoshop or something like that beforehand you could just import each element into Blender as a plane and just have the camera looking at them flat from above, with a sun lamp pointing straight down for uniform lighting.

@zeldatra 2 days into the demo and I think I may end up saying that I hate moho as much as opentoonz and I could have just made 360 god damned individual batcaveing exports from CorelDRAW by now for apple's kiwiing sake
