/2d-trace-animation

Primary LanguagePython

Simple 2D animation software.

Quickstart

virtualenv -p python2.7 ./animation-env
source ./animation-env/bin/activate
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

Features

Currently supported

  • customizable background image
  • customizable foreground images, trace in real time the trajectory you want them to follow
  • optional spray trail
  • ricochet loop option
  • export animation to GIF (imageio) or MOV (OpenCV)
  • scrub through animation using timeline slider

Under development

  • handle non-RGB/RGBA images
  • "no loop" option for each foreground object
  • camera transforms, including orbit
  • full-object position/rotation/scaling interpolation between different keypoints (tweening)
  • lasso select object components to animate individually
  • 3D workflow: modify transforms in each coordinate plane, mix 2D and 3D objects
  • stylization for rendering (e.g. non-photorealistic)
  • automatic background removal
  • standard behavior for "background image dims != provided dims" case
  • automatically smooth paths that the user draws
  • click on object to select for use in tracing
  • hide/show different layers at different timesteps
  • import new images (foreground, background) in-app

Controls

  • s: switch active foreground object
  • space: clear trace for active foreground object
  • tab: hide control bar
  • hold cursor and move: record trace for active foreground object, if one doesn't already exist
