The Free Tools I use to animate & why.

In this video, from my animation course website, I discuss the reasons I use the free Opensource software that I do, and why.

I use OpenToonz, Blender, Krita & Shotcut - all 100% free Opensource software.

I also use CorelDraw in my work as an illustrator, and this is a paid version, but there are free alternative vector drawing programs available.

I have an "Animating With OpenToonz" course that goes into this, and many other techniques and methods of animating using OpenToonz.

Animating with Opentoonz is my newest course, available later in 2023, and will cover everything an animator needs to know about OpenToonz, from setting it up, and all the basics, all the way to more complex techniques and tools that one can use to really let OpenToonz show its' power.

There are a few sections to the course, and it covers:

1. Basics - installing, FF Mpeg, Tools and workplace windows etc.
2. Drawing - the 2 main methods; vectors & raster, and how to use them to the full
3. Animating - covering the various methods and techniques OpenToonz offers
4. Advanced Tools & Techniques - we dive into some of the more advanced parts of OT
5. Extra Tips & Techniques - we look at some creative ways to use OpenToonz
6. Examples & break downs - we work through some finished animation examples, step by step.

The course is available at a 50% discount to it's anticipated price when it is finally 100% completed, early 2024.
