Moving Picture Studio

MAIN WEBPAGE

This is a stop-motion animation program which is made to be MODERN, EASY, MULTIPLATFORM and FAST.

The application is written in C++, based on OpenGL 2.1/ES 2.0 and SDL.
Currently supported/tested platforms:

• Linux x64
• Windows x64

Works, but it's unstable:

• MacOS x64

This application also works on ARM processors (Raspberry Pi and other).

Please report any bugs and problems in this program. It helps a lot! Ideas are also welcome ;)
