Synfig Studio for Mac – Free Download (2021 latest version)

Synfig Studio for Mac is free and open source 2D cartoon software, designed as a powerful industrial power solution for creating quality movie cartoons using a graphic vector and bitmap Eliminates the need to create a frame-by-frame animation, allowing you to produce higher quality 2D animation with fewer people and resources. Synfig Studio is available for macOS, Windows and Linux.

Features and best moments

Flat
Synfig supports many layers of different types. geometric, gradients, filters, distortions, transformations, fractals and a few more.

Bones
The complete bone system allows you to create an animated image with bitmap images or control your vector graphic. The Skeleton distortion layer allows complex distortions to be applied to bitmap artwork.

Spatial analysis-independence
Most elements are vector-based and all levels are generated parametrically, so even when you change the target resolution of a project, the only pixel will occur in the imported raster images, not the embedded elements.

Independence of time resolution
Basic animation frames are automatically inserted by the computer, resulting in smooth movement

High Dynamic Range (HDRI)
Using floating point mathematics in image calculations, HDRI processing allows canvas to grasp a much wider range of pixel brightness internally, resulting in better lighting effects and improved color composition.

Audio support
The tool has basic features for synchronizing your animation with a soundtrack using the Sound Layer. Linux users can take advantage of all full-featured audio editors through JACK integration.

Pentablet friendly tools
The drawing tool can read the pressure sensitivity channel from your favorite tablets, for natural line weighting and much more!

Artist-oriented design
Although it may not be obvious in this early state, Synfig (and its proprietary predecessors) has been designed from the ground up with animated workflows in mind.

Route-based crossings
Unlike pure SVG vector software and most consumer-level animation programs, the app has full support for gradation paths – slopes that follow a plan. This allows artists to easily add soft shading to the animation without the problem of painting it in any frame.
