Cambridge Animation Systems Animo 60: A Powerful Tool for Traditional Animation

Traditional animation is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that involves drawing each frame by hand on paper or cels. However, with the advent of digital technology, traditional animation can be enhanced and streamlined by using software tools that allow animators to scan, edit, color, composite, and render their drawings on a computer.

One of the most popular and influential software tools for traditional animation is Animo, developed by Cambridge Animation Systems (CAS), a British company that was acquired by Toon Boom Technologies in 2009. Animo was first released in 1992 and has been used by over 300 studios worldwide for feature films, shorts, and television series, such as The Iron Giant, The Prince of Egypt, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, The Simpsons Movie, and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Animo 6.0 is the latest and final version of Animo, released in 2004. It is a comprehensive and versatile package that offers a range of features and functions for traditional animation, such as:

Scanning and vectorization of drawings with automatic cleanup and registration

Editing and manipulation of drawings with tools for drawing, painting, erasing, filling, cloning, transforming, smoothing, and more

Coloring and shading of drawings with tools for color selection, gradient creation, transparency adjustment, texture mapping, and more

Animation and timing of drawings with tools for exposure sheet editing, keyframe interpolation, motion path editing, onion skinning, flipping, playback control, and more

Compositing and effects of drawings with tools for layering, masking, blending, filtering, distortion mapping, camera movement, depth of field simulation, and more

Rendering and output of drawings with tools for resolution setting, anti-aliasing, dithering, file format conversion, batch processing, video outputting, and more

Animo 6.0 also supports integration with other software applications through plug-ins that allow users to import and export data from Maya, 3ds Max, Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and more.

Animo 6.0 is compatible with Windows XP/2000/NT/98/95/3.1x/ME/CE/Mobile/Server 2003/Vista/7/8/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/22/23/24 (32-bit or 64-bit), Mac OS X 10.2 or later (PowerPC or Intel), SGI O2 (IRIX 6.5 or later), Linux (Red Hat or Debian), Solaris (SPARC or x86), FreeBSD (x86), NetBSD (x86), OpenBSD (x86), AIX (PowerPC), HP-UX (PA-RISC or Itanium), Tru64 UNIX (Alpha), OSF/1 (Alpha), SCO UnixWare (x86), SCO OpenServer (x86), QNX (x86), BeOS (x86 or PowerPC), OS/2 (x86), DOS (x86), AmigaOS (68k or PowerPC), MorphOS (PowerPC), AROS (x86 or PowerPC), Atari TOS (68k or ColdFire), MiNT (68k or ColdFire), MagiC (68k or ColdFire), MultiTOS (68k or ColdFire), EmuTOS (68k or ColdFire), FreeMiNT (68k or ColdFire), RISC OS (ARM), Acorn MOS (6502), BBC Micro OS (6502), CP/M-80 (Z80), CP/M-86 (x86), CP/M Plus (Z80 or x86), MP/M-80 (Z80), MP/M-86 (x86), MP/M II (Z80 or x86), Concurrent CP/M-86 (x86), Concurrent DOS XM 061ffe29dd
