Animo
Animo was a ground-breaking professional animation system for producers of cartoons and other two-dimensional animation. Animo provided a solution to the problems of animators in both small and large studios. It's the only system available that offered full automation to the animator, with the skills of the key animator transformed into fully colored and inbetweened frames by the system.
Animo was available in modular form, allowing studios to choose the level of technology they want and to configure their implementation of it to make the best use of their existing needs and resources. The modules were:
- Animo Studio - ink and paint system andAnimo's resolution-independent paint and inbetweening system
- Animator - full character animation tools
- Lipsync - sound breakdown and automated lipsync animation
- SFX - compositing and filtering tools
Extra rendering modules for NeXTStep computers and Silicon Graphics were also available.
Animo handled input from batch scanners and live-video sources and could output at any resolution to video, film, or print media.
