first of all Forums are back congratulations. second there is a relatively new animation software that became open source and thought you guys should know that. it's used by studio ghibli, you know, the ones that make the awesome anime movies. anyways just thought you should know.and also there is no good guide on how to use it since it's fairly new so...

here's a link to the software Open toonz

and here's shamelessly self promoting my comic Warlock

Have fun

The interface looks daunting for beginners like me, but I'm excited to learn and fumble around with it.

This was a good little tutorial that introduces you to some of the basic features:

yeah hopefully it brings a new golden age of internet animation, but like everyone else at the moment is quite...interesting. check out onionskin youtube channel he's create for animation tuts.

When I I first read about this I was overjoyed. I would love to try this out but as I'm a 0 when it comes to animation so I have to wait until there are enough people with experience that upload tutorials.

THIS! The phenomenon that is One Punch man apparently owes some of it's success to web animators . The director decided to add them to his team and the result was spectacular. If this tool will encourage more people to take up 2 D animation and reinvigorate the animation industry (I'm really worried about 3D taking over ) I'm all for it !

I downloaded it Saturday opened it stared at it and went back to drawing sequential 2d art. One day one day I will animate...

If somebody here already used TVpaint and then try this new software, I'd like to hear your impression on it.
I didn't download it yet but I'm very used to TVpaint and I'd like to know if there is a point to try to learn a whole new software.

I was so excited since I've been stressing about how I can afford tvpaint when I have to return to Finland (My home university computers don't have it). So I downloaded this as soon as I could. Haven't yet tried it out but I'll let you know @blop about the differences I may see.
