Pencil - v0.4.4beta - January 21st, 2008

Traditional Animation Software.

A few words
This program was developed on Mac OS 10.4 using Qt.
Because the Qt libraries are multi-platform, it has also been ported to Linux and Windows.

The application was initially designed by Patrick Corrieri, to aid in animation planning.
The idea was to make rough sketches by adding a keyframe on the timeline, and then able able to quickly move the keys to experiment with timing. This program was built because no other equivalent program (not free, at least) could be found for the ever software-handicapped Mac.

The application was extended by Pascal Naidon, introducing new tools and features (zoom, move, rectangle selection, layers, vector graphics). Pencil is now an animation software and its name is likely to change in the future. It is still at an early stage of development and comments are welcome.
