Express Animator alternatives
Express Animator is a 2D animation tool for creating animations, presentations, cartoons, game characters, and sound and music. Most of its features are similar to the Adobe Flash MX with some additional tools like skeletal animation and exporting to HTML5 Canvas and Silverlight. Its latest version supports the Actionscript to get the genre of vector-based graphics programs where it stores the coordinates of the shape’s vertices. You can fill the shapes created with either bitmaps, colors, or gradients.
It also supports complex scripts, improved renderers, and various wizards to speed up tasks like creating charts and buttons. The best part is that it provides the skeletal animation that is considered the simplest way of linking multiple shapes like legs or arms to design the animation like a puppet. It also lets the users create moveable characters. Tweening is part of this tool that makes the animators specify the position, orientation, and color of the first and last animation frames and fills in all the intermediate positions. It also features morphing that will let you animate smooth transformation between two shapes.
