Creating Props
Creating props inside Cartoon Animator will help you build fresh new scenes without needing templates from the existing libraries. You can also create hybrid scenes by adding embedded props with custom ones.
The supported file formats are:
…
- For the PSD pipeline, refer to Creating / Editing with Bitmap Editor section.
- For the SVG pipeline, refer to Creating / Editing with Vector Editor section.
