Animation Styles

BONE ANIMATION

Apply a skeletal bone structure to your drawing, picture or puppet character and animate them with ease. Bend body parts to create gestures and walk cycles much faster, while preserving proportion and volume.

CUT-OUT ANIMATION

Draw, create or import elements to build characters and store them all in your personal library, then apply Studio's powerful transform tool and motion paths to set timing and create movement.




TRADITIONAL ANIMATION

If your talent translates best on paper, then Studio is for you. Scan-in drawings with no loss of quality using any TWAIN supported device, then use Studio's proven technology to take your illustrations into the digital world!

TRADIGITAL ANIMATION

Developed by animators for animators, Toon Boom Studio offers all the traditional animation features at the tip of your digital pen. A 100% paperless workflow with no sacrifices in features!




STOP-MOTION ANIMATION

Create remarkable stop-motion animation using any object you'd like to bring to life. Insert fun backgrounds using Chroma Key, or use time-lapse imagery to generate unique visuals. Add audio and easily export to the web!

ROTOSCOPING ANIMATION

Animating has never been easier, or as much fun! Studio allows you to import live-action video to then trace and colour in your characters. Rotoscoping assists you in developing smooth, realistic movements.
