설명

ToonSquid is a powerful 2D art and animation studio for your iPad. Its flexible layer system allows you to combine the charm of hand-drawn traditional animation with keyframes that automatically animate layer properties over time. With a library full of beautiful, blazing-fast and fully customizable pixel and vector brushes, a smudge tool, animated text and vector shapes, video and audio layers, camera movements, symbols and many more features, ToonSquid makes it easy to bring your vision to life.

* Traditional animation:
- Create hand-drawn frame-by-frame animations
- Control how long you want to show each drawing in the timeline
- Draw in resolutions of up to 4k

* Keyframe animation:
- Add keyframes to automatically animate layer properties over time
- Choose from an extensive list of customizable easing curve presets to create organic motion between keyframes

* Powerful layer system:
- Define the order and length of each element in your animation using layers and drawings and a flexible timeline
- Organize your layers into groups for a clean workflow or to use them for pre-compositing
- Use the camera layer to quickly define the visible portion of your animation in the export
- Mask layers to other layers, even when their contents are animated
- Choose from 27 industry-standard layer blend modes for beautiful compositing effects

* Fully-customizable brushes:
- Draw gorgeous brush strokes with ToonSquid's state-of-the-art digital brush engine
- Take full advantage of Apple Pencil's pressure and tilt sensitivity and the iPad Pro's 120Hz display for lag-free drawing
- Use vector brushes to create brush strokes that are sharp at every zoom level
- Edit any of the 60+ brush settings and import custom textures to create a brush library that is perfectly tailored to your art style
- Blend your strokes together using the smudge tool
- Draw in a variety of styles such as sketching, inking, wet mixing, pixel art, and more
- Export and share your custom brushes with others
- Import your existing library of Adobe® Photoshop® brushes

* Efficient symbol workflow:
- Split your animation into separate clips that you can then reuse multiple times using symbols
- Make edits to an animation clip and immediately see the changes in all of its symbols
- Use frame markers to quickly add keyframes showing different parts of a symbol, e.g. for an easy lip-syncing workflow

* Text:
- Add text layers and animate their appearance
- Import and use your favorite fonts
- Type bidirectional text and use IMEs for non-Latin-based languages

* Vector shapes:
- Quickly add common vector shapes from the shape library
- Create custom shapes using the path tool by placing and editing each curve control point
- Fill and stroke your shapes with beautiful gradients and edit them directly on the canvas
- Animate the visible length of a path using its trim properties

* Color:
- Use ToonSquid's powerful color picker with plenty of different interfaces to choose the exact colors you want to work with
- Create custom color palettes to speed up your workflow and even share them outside of the application
- Pick colors straight from the canvas using the pipette tool
- Fill connected regions quickly with the fill tool

* Audio and video
- Add audio clips to your timeline and perform lip-syncing animations
- Hear the exact audio that matches each frame of your animation while you scrub through the timeline
- Import videos, GIFs and images into your project and work with them through symbols

* Transform
- Animate every layer's position, rotation and scale properties using keyframes
- Customize the position of the layer pivot
- Add transform layers and build transform hierarchies to quickly achieve more advanced movements
- See and edit your layer's entire motion path directly on the canvas

* Numerous export formats
- Share your work by exporting it in one of many common export formats such as MP4, MOV, GIF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and more.

Love it, Live it, Use it!! Just a small recommendation!

Hello ToonSquid team! I am so flabbergasted on how much this has helped me in animation! You guys have been putting in a lot of effort and I just love everything about it! With the key frames, symbols and easy animations for beginners, this app is just one of the best animation apps out there! But I’d also like to give out some recommendations! (I completely understand if it’s not compatible or supposed to be a function in the app). But I’d maybe think that when editing, there should be an option called “Skewer” it is basically like using the “Rasterize” tool but it can be in keyframes instead of frame-by-frame Animation. It can be used just like a distortion tool but the only change about it can be from a Rasterize tool to an actual Keyframe to allow it to skew / shear the animation with the symbols without being blurry, because in most cases for apps such as FlipaClip, it turns out super blurry each time animators skew / shear the frame every time, and I think it would be such a great improvement to ToonsSquid if they added that feature like Adobe Animate!

Again, I completely understand if it’s not compatible or doesn’t fit in to what the app is intended to do or have.

So that is why I’d think there should be a “Skew / Shear” feature for keyframes & symbols so that it can be way easier for people now! Reach out to this account if you can! Thank you so much! Keep up the amazing work, ToonSquid Team!

Thank you so much for the kind words and for leaving a review - that means a lot to me!
And also thanks for the suggestion. Making it possible to animate perspective and warp edits using keyframes is definitely one of the big features that I would like to add to ToonSquid at some point in the future.

In love 🔥🔥🔥

By far the most comprehensive and intuitive animation app I’ve seen on mobile. Instantly felt comfortable to use, even with limited animation experience, but it seems like there’s a lot of meat here to dig into once I’m used to the interface and ready to tackle more advanced projects! Weirdly, it feels more like an authentic extension of Procreate than Procreate Dreams does; I found the app after Dreams’ barebones launch left me disappointed and searching for alternatives, and I’m really glad I did. The interface is easy to understand and doesn’t overwhelm me when I open up the app, while maintaining all the essential functions. I’m really pleasantly surprised by how versatile it seems to be. Also happy it’s a one-time purchase, and so accessible!

I can definitely see Toonsquid going on to help a ton of people get into animation who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford standard pipeline tools or who just prefer drawing on mobile, myself included. Excited to explore!

One of the best animation apps! Could use some updates

This is probably my favorite app to animate in, it has a lot of features that I miss in other apps like onion skin settings, framerate settings, and drawing out of frames w vector brushes. I do have some problems with it though when it comes to coloring and doing linework though because of the way vector lines work/the placement of things on the interface. I use an iPad and like to swipe down to turn down the brightness on my screen/volume of my music but oftentimes it accidentally changes the opacity of my brushes and I end up drawing my lineart with a lower opacity without noticing which could be fixed if there were the ability to lock brush settings or move the placement of the opacity settings, it’s really annoying working on something and realizing when your coloring it you’ve been drawing with a slightly lowered opacity. Another problem I have is with the inability to draw outside the frame with raster brushes, so I end up using vector brushes. Using vector brushes is fine with me but it’s a lot harder to fill in and color your drawings because lock transparency/fill reference doesn’t work, so I end up drawing underneath the lineart to manually fill and color each drawing which takes a long time. Other than that I enjoy using the app a lot, and don’t mind these issues too much because a lot of apps have similar or worse issues.
