Description

Name OpenToonz

Homepage https://opentoonz.github.io/e/

Why should this be included in the repository?

2D animation software that was used and co-developed by Studio Ghibli since Princess Mononoke. OpenToonz was updated to be suitable for production and open-sourced last year.

We already have Synfig for Solus which is great, but it isn't focused on hand-drawn animation like OpenToonz is.

Is it Open Source yes

How many users do you anticipate will use this software? Not many, it's a dying art :( but this might help!

Link to source tarball/zip file https://github.com/opentoonz/opentoonz/releases

Note

There are additional features developed for OpenToonz that could be included, namely GTS, which is a scanning tool specialized for hand-drawn animation frames, and the Plugin Utilty for creating effects plugins such as their own.

@sootstone were you able to make any progress on this?

BearzR added a comment.Jun 3 2018, 11:00 PM

after trying to build it, I found that two of its dependencies are not in the repo: SuperLU, Lzo2.

I also found an appimage of it, so we can use it on solus for now. Though it would be better to have a native package.

This has sat in accepted for inclusion for over a year now. Clearly, there is a lack of demand for the inclusion of this software, nobody has stepped up to provide a patch, maintain it, and properly integrate it. Closing as a result. Feel free to reopen (@sootstone ) but only when providing a patch via our proper patch submission methods and volunteering to be maintainer.

Apologies for posting in this closed thread, but unfortunately I do not have the knowledge nor time to maintain this package currently. I still feel it would be a valuable piece of software to include as there is currently no alternative in the repository. I may be able to look at it again in the future.

Lzo2 is in the repository, so it is only SuperLU that also needs to be packaged.
