If you want text in your animations, then you make an effort: read the responses above and find a solution that works for you. But trivializing our work, and then making such a passive-aggressive response with completely irrelevant political messages and accusing us of being too sensitive and not grown up is not the way to get what you want. I’m even glad that you want to suggest features for us because we want to know what our users want. I am glad that you want to make educational tools and children’s story books, and I am glad that you are interested in using Pencil2D. Your comment comes across as very dismissive of the large amount of effort that goes into maintaining and improving a project like this, which is why it is insulting to us.
#FIREALPACA TEXT BOX FOR FREE#
All of this work is done voluntarily for free so that we can provide you with the software for free. myself, and all the other members of the Pencil2D Team make an effort all the time to improve this software, culminating in thousands of hours spent working on everything from fixing bugs and implementing new features, to maintaining the website and helping people with their issues. Moreover, it is not simply a matter of “making an effort”. Our resources are limited so we must prioritize what we believe is most important to the users. While I’m sure you think that it’s the feature you’d like to see the most, you would very quickly change your mind if the program crashed and you lost all of your work, or if a bug meant that you couldn’t use your tablet with Pencil2D. As already explained to you, the text tool is not our top priority. There are other possibilities as well since Synfig has effects layers that can help embellish your animation work such as blurs, glows and other kinds of filters that can be applied to motion pictures. So for example a simple use case would be to use Synfig to create a text animation via auto-tweening and then export a sequence of PNG images with a transparent background back into Pencil2D to paint over with decorative hand-drawn effects. Just in case if you’re interested in other open source tools to help you make presentations or animation for education purposes you could try and combine Pencil2D with Synfig ( ) which has a text tool and uses vector drawings but permits to import and export bitmap images as well.
That said, we can’t really say when a text tool might become available in Pencil2D, so we hope you find a suitable alternative meanwhile we work to implement it. We all agree however that having a text tool would be nice, but for now fixing critical bugs has taken the majority of the development time so until those are fixed we’ll have to wait for more features. This has been requested in the past and it’s on the project’s bucket list of features to add, however due to the open nature of the project itself we can’t force the developers to add anything they don’t want to work on at any given time. White (R: 255 G: 255 B:255) becomes transparent, and black (R: 0 G: 0 B: 0) becomes the selected layer color.Hi. You can use “Edge Pen” on both 8bit layer and 1bit layer.
