Toon Boom Studio 4 coming to Mac

Toon Boom Animation today announced the upcoming release of Toon Boom Studio 4, offering users of the all-in-one animation studio a smooth experience creating rich animations for a variety of mediums including video and television. Studio 4 features a redesigned user interface for an improved workflow and a smoother experience, as well as greater flexibility via the ability to customize workspaces. Extended animation styles import, vectorize, and animate photographs while a broader selection of brushes help users create better line styles. A new Feather Edges feature applies blurs and glows to drawings, improved motion capabilities set more realistic moves with the new peg's Orient to path feature, and advanced Web publishing options help users play back animation on the internet more efficiently.

The update also includes support for Adobe Illustrator layers, the Vectorize Preview window, improved drawing tools, Alpha Onion Skinning, and support for Tablet PC operating systems such as Windows XP and Windows Vista. Toon Boom Studio 4 is available as a pre-launch special for $300 until August 16th, 2007.
