Suggestions for 2D man/woman animation toolkits/software

October 4, 2012 5:05 AM

I am looking for a 2D animation toolkit that helps me animate various actors, like man, woman, cat and helps in realising various actions like sleeping, running, etc. with programmatical ease. I have looked into processing.org and started to toy with simple geometric shapes, but yet to stumble across an animation with man/woman actors. Could you help me find some good resources where I could learn to animate such things? TIA.

Adobe Flash is an industry standard and would be worth getting if you are going to be using it often. You could Google "Flash Animation" and get lots of examples.

2nding Flash. All the professional 2D animators I know use it.
