Toon Boom Animation has released v5 of its storyboarding software that offers camera controls, 3D models import and collaboration tools. The latest version streamlines the workflow with new creative tools, adds improvements to the 3D workflow, and provides better integration with editorial. New features include:
- 3D workflow enhancements – provide better integration between 2D and 3D with the ability to snap 3D models to surfaces, create layers on models, import Collada and Alembic files and work with a more responsive 3D camera
- Customizable brush tips – allow artists to change the roundness, hardness, and angle of tips as well as add randomness
- Layer grouping – makes it easier to organize and share content for an even more fluid creative development process and exchange between artists
- Qt application scripting – lets you create tools and scripts to automate manual tasks
- Support for 23.976 NDF timecode – enables seamless transfer of animatics from Storyboard Pro to the editing suite
- Easier conforming – better error handling and report generation when conforming from an editing software that uses XML means unknown data won’t cause a conform to fail and you can more easily troubleshoot issues
