What is Doomby?
Doomby is a free and open-source 2D animation software designed for independent animators and small studios. It provides a complete toolset for traditional frame-by-frame animation that allows users to draw, paint, animate characters and backgrounds, add special effects, camera movements and record dialog.
Some of the key features of Doomby include:
- Intuitive timeline for animating drawings and building scenes
- Onion skinning to visualize previous and next frames
- Undo/redo capabilities
- Retiming and keying tools
- Camera panning, zooming and rotation
- Support for importing images, audio and video files
- Extensible via plugins
- Available for Windows, Mac and Linux
With its easy-to-use interface and focus on 2D workflow, Doomby is considered very beginner friendly animation software by the indie animation community. While it may not have all the advanced tools of premium packages like Toon Boom or TVPaint, Doomby provides a great starting point for learning the principles of 2D animation at zero cost.
