Pressure and Tilt support in Eraser tool – Pressure and Tilt options are added to Eraser tool to enhance drawing options. You can now erase with same size and precision like the Brush tool, by using the Pressure and Tilt sensitive eraser nib.
Asset sculpting for vector and raster content – You can now easily deform complex vector shapes and raster shape using asset warp tool. Create animations without having to redraw assets on each frame.
Texture publishing for improved performance – As an animator, now you can continue to author content in vector format and export as vector or raster format for HTML 5 platforms.
Updated Features
Layer parenting – Animate allows you to parent one layer to another. Layer parenting is an easy way to allow one layer/object of your animation to control over the other layer/object.
VR authoring and publishing (Beta) – As a 2D game developer, educationist, or web developer, you can use 2D skill set in Animate and export panorama or 360 virtual reality animations.
Auto Lip-Sync – As a character animator using Animate, creating lip syncing was always a time consuming effort. Now, you can match mouth poses to sound inflections automatically.
Paint Bucket tool enhancement – Paint Bucket tool can now be used in continuous fill mode. The tool does live filling on the regions/contours as you drag over the shapes.
SVG Export enhancement – SVG files exported from Animate are now well organized and maintain layer hierarchy. These exported files can be imported in Character Animator for further use.
