Hi Linux Lemmites. Recently finished up school and started working full time and kind of miss working on personal projects. I’m looking to try to make something in rust and try out gpui if I can figure it out or maybe egui. I also want to make something maybe even a handful of people would actually use as I find that motivating, so I ask what would actually be useful to you?
I understand why it doesn’t exist because it’s pretty niche and a shitload of work, but I wish there was a a really good dedicated 2D animation software similar to Moho Pro or Toon Boom Harmony on Linux. That’s one of the only reasons I’m still keeping Windows around.
Also as a side note, don’t trust Toon Boom. I bought a perpetual license from them that was super expensive, and then they switched to a subscription model and turned off my perpetual license.
Its funny because there is really good animation software on Linux. Problem is its difficult. But what it does is real good!
Cant say that and not mention the name my guy
Ok for example, and this isn’t the only one, OpenToonz. It is the direct and open source descendant of the same software that Studio Ghibli used.
You would need to learn it. You would need to create your own custom pipeline workflows. And you would need to be an artist.
