OFFER!!!...Pencil 0.4.4b Win32 - Probably Oldest Creation on SourceForge>>>

TalkOrBell

Found this today on wayback machine & it looks like it's been on sourceforge since the beginning...

This version was last & it barely made it into 2008 (January)...so this has been on sourceforge for a long time mostly untouched...

It's a pretty simple animation app but features bitmap & vector layers as well as sound & camera layers...KOOL!




It respects transparency to various degrees & I checked tablet pressure which looks good-




Apparently it can output image sequences, MOV or Flash...We'll see...

I like it's simple setup & GUI...Looks like a stripped down version of Anime Studio (MOHO)...

Bitmap layers can import images but you have to have a selection area first, then it will go into that selection...Probably need to have the 'preserve alpha' on too but I didn't yet...



The Manual for it is HERE-

It was moved to https://bitbucket.org/chchwy/pencil2d/src/master/
And actively maintained
Even supports winXP (if it doesn't run you need to install vcredist_x86.exe first )

Good sourcing there...Thanks. Looks like it got FATTER!...I guess folks nowadays can't see the slimmer panels good enough? Looking like PhotoDemon...

Garcia

It loaded in as a very small window, something like 800x1200, when I took the screen shot. But the panels look normal size to me, it's a good and simple app
