A lightweight, 2D animation engine.
Anima is a "no-nonsense" creative tool built for speed. Designed with a familiar timeline workflow, it focuses on the essentials: drawing, timing, and motion.
- Dynamic Timeline: Frame-by-frame control with a high-performance preview.
- Ghosting (Onion Skinning): Lightweight 2-frame tracing for precise motion tracking.
- Smooth Canvas: Sub-pixel smoothing with middle-mouse panning and high-speed zoom.
- Portable Projects: Save your entire workflow into a single
.animafile.
