AnimeEffects

🇯🇵 日本語

A 2D animation tool which doesn't require a carefully thought-out plan, it simplifies animation by providing various functions based on the deformation of polygon meshes.
Originally developed by hidefuku, it is now being developed and maintained by its community.

  • See compatible versions bellow.
• Processor: Intel Celeron/AMD Athlon or similar

OS Targets

This is what we are compiling and testing the software on, it may work on older versions but this is discouraged.

• Windows 10 or newer.
• Ubuntu LTS or newer.
  • The provided AppImage will not work on older versions due to glibc.
• MacOS Big Sur or newer.
  • None of our contributors actually has a Mac to test AnimeEffects on, but we do keep track of compilation errors and artifacts.

• Qt 5.14 or later.
• MSVC2019/MinGW/Make (32-bit or 64-bit)
