Hi…
Recent new additions to Cartoon Animator can be seen below:
The 5.2 update introduced two major highlights: Motion Path Animation and Motion Pilot.
Motion Pilot is the natural evolution of contemporary puppetry, allowing users to animate characters and props instantaneously, significantly reducing production time. Moreover, users can transform puppet paths into editable bezier curves for further refinement.
Motion Path Animation. This enhanced path editing tool is exceptionally practical for creating precise animations across various applications, including commerce, education, and manufacturing.
In the 5.3 update Cartoon Animator advances further with the introduction of Puppet Stage and the Live Camera System. As the demand for short films, social media, and live streaming grows, Reallusion is addressing the emergent need for rapid animation production. This update delivers a game-changing trigger-based animation system that simplifies traditional keyframing by utilizing existing animation assets, seamlessly integrating facial tracking and voice lip sync. Designed for real-time, studio-grade live shows, all within a unified interface, this intuitive system sets a new standard in livestream animation.
And finally in the most recent 5.33 update, CTA now supports collaborative editing of the entire character’s SVG file in Affinity Designer. Sprite sequences work seamlessly with Smooth Mode, enabling shape transitions through transformations, adding diversity and dynamism to facial animations.
I hope this helps.
