EASY POSE EDITING AND ANIMATION
Intuitive IK/FK Smart Motion System
Drag-and-move end effectors for IK editing, directly rotate joins for FK editing.
Intuitive pose-to-pose editing without switching IK and FK modes.
One transform timeline track can keep End Effector Constraints and it’s Effective Range.
Set keys only to Selected Body Parts, or to Full Body motion layers.
VAST CHARACTER AND MOTION LIBRARIES
With the vast content provided in the Motion Library, you can get your characters moving in no time, by just adding motion clips.
Motion clips are pre-animated actions that you can insert in your characters.
Think of it as you being the director of the scene, telling your characters what to do in the scene.
“Start running, do a roll, and then stop.”
As easy as that, without having to do the animation for all of those actions.
Done with Simple Click and Drag
FAST CHARACTER RIGGING
AUTO IK RIG

You can also add new designs, clothes, accessories, or apply filters to your animatable assets.
FULL COMPATIBILITY
Thanks to the PSD import feature, Cartoon Animator 4 is compatible with most graphic tools that support PSD files for layering, grouping, and masking.
WORKS WITH ALL KINDS OF
CARTOON CHARACTERS
You will have correct backward knee bend animation for quadruped animals. And if you need to alter the bone length between two bone segments, you can use shift+drag to produce a uniform transform effect such as the gorilla arm movement.

Once your character is rigged with different sprites for the different phonemes used for lip-sync, making your characters talk will be super easy.
