Artoonix is software to create cartoons or animated movies on your PC. It is best suited for those who want to "liven up" static world of simple computer drawings, add sounds, try out your creativity, ideas and show it to friends and family. With Artoonix you can: - Create drawings in advanced Artoonix frame editor or simply add and modify objects from your picture files (e.g. JPEG's or animated GIF's). - Animate and transform the drawings and photos using a host of traditional animation Werkzeuge. - Record multi-track sound from your microphone or insert soundtracks from wav or MP3 audio files. -Export your animation into a high-quality Macromedia Blitz SWF file or an animated GIF file for easy web publishing, e-mailing, using as your mobile phone wallpaper, etc. - Export the animation into a high-quality movie file (e.g. into an .avi file with your favourite compression codec - DiVX or Xvid). Traditionally, animation process is associated with rather complex multiple stage process but it is intuitively simple in its basics. Artoonix makes it accessible to everybody, especially children. The user interface has been designed to guide the artist through the logical steps of animation process. Text menus, sidebars, mouse contextual menus and keyboard shortcuts reflect the need to concentrate on creative bits while having the right Werkzeuge at hand.
