2D Animation Toolkit Requires Mac OS X Port

Written by Daniel Lurie | Wednesday, August 24, 2005

KToon is a 2D Animation Toolkit designed by animators (Toonka Films ) for animators, focused towards the Cartoon Industry. This project is covered by the GPL License using C++, OpenGL and QT as programming resources from KDevelop as the development platform. At the moment, KToon is only available for Unix systems but the developers expect to make it work on Windows in the future. Minimun Requirements:

  • Unix-based Operating System
  • QT 3.3.2 or higher
  • 256 MB on RAM
  • 800MHz or higher
  • 5MB of free HD space

This application would be quite useful for sprite work if it could be ported to Mac OS X. Perhaps some of the developers here could take a crack at porting it?

gentle persons,

I (and several others) compiled succesfully the 0.7.3 and SVN-distribution of KToons under MacOSX - this is in principle quite easy. Before offering a binary installer package at least one major "glitch" under MacOSX has to be fixed: when reopening a saved project the program crashes. Additionally there are some minor "oddities" like the way the project file keeps track of brushes, etc., toolbox and other window positioning, etc. Just for the curious a screenshot:http://naranja.umh.es/~atg/incubator-storage/screen-KToons073.png

cheers,

Markus Bongard
