Opentoonz– Is it worth the hype?

Yes and no.

The nice thing about Opentoonz is that it’s professional grade software, for free. It’s super customizable, and straightforward.

However, it’s dated. The UI isn’t friendly whatsoever. And apparently, it’s been that way since, well, forever. Professionals who have used before, as much as ten years ago, have said that nothing’s changed. Which isn’t really good. Another thing I didn’t appreciate was the fact that “used by Studio Ghibli” was the selling point but because the software is so customizable, the studio has played with the software to meet their needs. So is this really the same Opentoonz used by an internationally recognized studio? Probably not.

Once again, sound escapes me.
