Synfig Studio 0.61.05 | 16.5 MB
Installing this app is not for
the faint-of-heart or casual users. It requires four different
installer files, Gtk , Gtkmm, Synfig Core, and Synfig Studio.
Once
you get past the setup, however, Synfig is a powerful program for those
who want to create Flash animations for free. It's neither easier nor
harder to use than Flash, but--also like Flash--it requires some
diligent study before you can begin using the toolbox effectively. To
help you get there, there's a huge volume of documentation and
tutorials available at the Synfig Web site.
The
app seems to be able to do most--if not all--that its expensive Flash
cousin can do, at least as far as animation goes. Features include
spatial and temporal resolution independence, pen tablet-sensitive
tools, path-based gradients, layering, and an interface that's modular,
allowing you to maximize screen real estate. It would be nice to see
some more shape tools in future versions, but for a free animator that
doesn't devour your system resources, Synfig is absolutely worth trying.
ynfig Studio is a vector based
2D animation program. It is designed to be capable of producing
feature-film quality animation. It eliminates the need for tweening,
preventing the need to hand-draw each frame. Synfig Studio features
spatial and temporal resolution independence (sharp and smooth at any
resolution or framerate), high dynamic range images, and a flexible
plugin system.
Note:You
will also need to download Synfig Core, GTK+ Runtime Environment and
Gtkmm installers. Install all three before installing Synfig Studio.
Beta or prerelease software is not intended for inexperienced users, as
the software may contain bugs or may potentially damage your system. We
strongly recommend that users exercise caution and save all
mission-critical data before installing or using this software.
