The 2D animation software developed by Rome-based Digital Video has been acquired by Japanese publisher Dwango, and will be released as open source on March 26. The OpenToonz version will include features developed by Studio Ghibli (Toonz Ghibli Edition), which has been a long time Toonz user. Through OpenToonz, Dwango will create a platform that will aim to have research labs and the animated film industry actively cooperating with each other.
Digital Video will move to the open source business model, offering to the industry commissioning, installation and configuration, training, support and customization services. The company will also continue to develop and market a Toonz Premium version at a competitive price for those companies willing to invest in the customization of Toonz.
Toonz was used in projects such as Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Futurama, etc. Read the press release on Digital Video’s website for more.
