Have you used copied software to create your animations? The CD market is full of copied programs in some of the countries. You may have probably thought they are legal. But most of them are illegal. However in some of the countries copied programs are continuously seized by the authorities. The graphic designers who use these get disappointed due to these activities because some of the amateurs to the graphic designing field are having financial barriers to access to the genuine versions of the commercial packages.The concept of open source began recently and still its being developed by the professional software developers to help the designers overcome the barriers. Though there are some excellent non-graphic softwares are released for several other purposes like web browsing ,animation software industry has a step ahead to develop more and more open source softwares. Though the pros in the graphic designing industry have money to expend on software beginners do not hav e hundreds and thousands dollars to afford for the software.
However there are quite a number of free animation software have been developed for the designing of 2D and 3D animations. 2D and 3D animations are extremely useful in designing cartoons, video games, movies, flashing text and images of the web pages. Some of the open source animation software that can be used to create 2D graphics are pencil, Cynfig, Creatoon..etc. There are some other software like 3D softwares designed for the free download and usage. Some of these free softwares are Open FX 2.0, Anom8or..etc.
Some people tend to think free animation softwares are no worthy to be used for the excellent graphic designing. But the quality always does not depend on the product. The software developers have developed these open source software for the benefits of the people who can't afford for the commercial softwares.
