Toon Boom Animation Inc. today announced two new outstanding innovations: Toon Boom Animate Pro builds upon Animate’s feature set and delivers also 2D-3D integration as well as scanning options and full compositing capabilities with 50 built-in special effects. Toon Boom Manager provides full tracking capabilities to monitor the production progress in real time.

Toon Boom Animate Pro and Manager are integral parts of the new modularized Harmony Solution which is ideal for creating traditional, paperless and cut-out animation, all integrated in a network environment.

As a turn-key solution, the Harmony Solution also includes consultancy services for implementation, custom training, production assistance and custom development. Consultancy services play a critical role in maximizing the benefits of the Toon Boom pipeline from the beginning, and delivering projects of all sizes within budget and schedule.

“Animate Pro and Manager are great additions to the Toon Boom offerings and will bring great value to the animation pipeline, no matter what the animation style or technique is. Ease-of-use, flexibility and power are certainly guiding the development of our products, making their adoption and integration in animation studios of any size the right technology choice,” shared Joan Vogelesang, President and Chief Executive Officer at Toon Boom.

Toon Boom Animate Pro and Manager will be showcased at MIPTV 2009, Booth C1.05.
