Hey Everypony I'm writing my own animation software, something to be able to control the characters like finger puppets, I was wondering if anyone is versed in python and wanted to help out?

I'm interested... what makes this different from other animation software?

the idea that a single person could make a feature length film in a month

the result would be a lower quality film but someone could say put out quick 5-10 animations almost every day without the need to dedicate enormous amounts of time to it

the characters would be controlled as one would a videogame, the more limited range of motion would allow for a significantly faster output

That's the most important part.

That... is very feasible. So more of a 2D or 3D kind of thing or both?

No experience with Python but I will be eagerly willing you on. I can think of a million projects I would like to do with such a tool.

This is an excellent idea! Now that making new episodes is all up to the fandom, a fast to use product is more important than a detailed one. Scale your expectations realistically!

Unfortunately I can't code at all, but I hope you good luck for the project. Post updates!

Ponyscape is incredibly easy to use to draw ponies, adjust where their limbs are pointing, and so on.
Anyone could use it to redraw Ponies in vector form, then copypaste them onto traced show backgrounds.
And just like that, a show style webcomic has been made.

This might have some use even for professionals who can do prototyping with this.

I have produced the first working version of my animation software, it took a long time but im currently on beta 7.1
I can load audio, 40 different objects which can have numerous states and animations tied to each state
movement can be controlled via mouse or keyboard

right now it's 2D but it uses opengl so once I get the object loader working right I should be able to do 3D as well
