Toonz provides an intuitive graphic interface for quick and easy access to
the following modules
Setup
Allows you to define program variables such as working resolution, frame
rate, and other critical parameters.
BGTiler
Joins together several (separately scanned) unpainted/painted image "tiles"
to produce one big (background) image.
Input
Lets you scan hand-drawn pencil keys and in-betweens into the computer or import files
from other software packages. Images are quickly organized for assembly, filtered, and
contrast-corrected. Automatic Line Balancing System automatically averages the line width
and equalizes entire level.
PltEdit
Helps to prepare the color palettes for each level or color model. among its
features: setting colors interactively when the character is superimposed on
a background, manipulating colors using many different tools, and creating
interpolated palettes.
Inknpaint
Color and edit scanned-in pencil keys as single images or an entire
sequence. Change the black-and-White line work to any color for a hand-inked
look.
Xsheet
Edit your scene in a familiar environment. Enlarge or reduce images, rotate objects or
create complex translation movements. Add dissolves, blurs, blends, fades, and other
special effects using simple commands. Use the Multiplane Camera for greater depth of
field in 2-D.
Batches
controls the intermediate and final production steps in the compositing phase.
Rec
controls the networked output device for rendering the finished animation.
File Manager
Allows you to manage and organize the files that compose the scenes of a
production.
Audio
Enables audio input and output. Pre-cut recorded tracks can be placed into
the computer's memory and broken down frame by frame, providing the
necessary guide for voice and music synchronization.
Movie
Plays back animated sequences with sound. The images can be fully painted or
unpainted.
Show
Isolates and displays compete levels. This feature is useful for verifying
and approving levels before the final production is composited.
Utilities
Allows you to run utilities such as:
- Quantize-"color reduc-tion"-reduces the number of colors present in an original full-color image
- Print to PostScript
- Convert-translates images to different file formats
- Autoclose-detects and automatically closes leaks in the lines to prevent floods
