![]() Supports a multitude of layers of various types geometric, gradients, filters, distortions, transformations, fractal and a few others.Temporal resolution independence – use of keyframes to reduce the workload.Standard tools for freehand drawing: Draw shapes, select colours, fill areas etc. ![]() If everything will be fine, you can expect development version published next week.Synfig stores its animations in a non-standard xml-based-format, which includes natively vector graphics and additionally raster graphics, referenced to external stored bitmaps. We are very close to release of version 1.4.0, still, before the stable release happen we will publish at least one development version to properly test all new features. Max thickness – sets the maximum vector stroke thickness if this value is low very thick lines will be converted in two strokes defining the line outline if this value is high, they will be converted in a single stroke.Despeckling – allows to ignore small areas generated by the image noise the higher the value, the larger the areas ignored.High values create more precise strokes but makes them more complex. Acurracy – sets how much the vector stroke will follow the shape of the original drawing lines.Threshold – sets the value of the darkest pixels to be taken into account to detect lines to be converted to vector.This will bring a vectorizer settings dialog where you can set parameters: Now you can right-click on any image layer and select “Convert to Vectors…” command. Our student Ankit Kumar Dwivedi ported this algorithm from OpenToonz animation software. This feature allows to convert raster (bitmap) image into vector image constructed from vector outlines. Animation of addition/deletion of spline points is not supported as Lottie format does not provides this feature.Layers like region, outline, and polygon are exported frame-by-frame because there is no exact alternative provided by Lottie and hence the animations might lag on larger displays.Exporting Bones (Skeleton) animation is not implemented yet. ![]() If a layer is not supported, it will be notified in this file. FILE.log stores all messages/errors appeared during the export.Here is an example implementation at codepen.io. Use it if you want to embed your animation to some webpage. FILE.json is the main file where the Lottie format animation resides.To watch exported animation, just open FILE.html with any browser like Firefox or Google Chrome.This will export the currently opened file to Lottie format.Īfter the export, you’ll have 3 files in the same directory as your animation: FILE.html, FILE.json and FILE.log. To access this plugin, choose “ Plugins” – “ Export to Lottie” from menu. This format is also used for creating Telegram’s animated stickers!Ĭurrently plugin is capable to export most main graphic elements, with animation applied to their parameters (various types of interpolations supported), some converters can be applied to parameters (see detailed list of supported layers and parameters on this page). Lottie format allows to play animations natively in web browser and on mobile platforms. ![]() Export animation for webĪnish Gulati created a plugin which exports Synfig animations in Lottie JSON format. We had two students working on Synfig with summer thanks to Google’s sponsorship and results of their work will be shipped in upcoming stable release. In this post I will focus on new features implemented as part of Google Summer of Code program. The release of next stable version of Synfig is approaching fast and we have a lot to add to our previous sneak peek at upcoming features.
