If you want to enter the 2D world but do not know which programs are required, this article will be very useful for you.
Actually, 2D doesn't need a lot of programs. All you need is a graphic program that will create your character and an animator program where you can animate this character.
A- Photoshop
You can create your character with Photoshop if you have drawing skills. Designs are now made in the form of 2D and newly released 3D heads.
B- Adobe Illustrator
Just like Photoshop, you can create your character with this program. The only difference is that it's a vector program. In other words, you need to create it by drawing, not painting like photoshop.
C- Cartoon Animator
It is a very successful program that allows you to create animations in the form of 2D and 3D heads by drawing skeletons on your characters.
The pipeline version of the program, which has a regular price of $ 250, is currently sold on its site for $ 139.
You are always less likely to get the program at full price, as Reallusion usually organizes campaigns.
The Pipeline version differs from the pro version, for example, it has useful features such as instantly transferring your work to Photoshop or a similar program with the click of a button and transferring the changes you make to your animator program instantly.
Also, RL's store has quite a few items in its free section and you can add them to your library right away.
D- Adobe Character Animator
Likewise, Cartoon Animator is a program where you can make animations for your characters.
If you only consider Adobe's monthly payment, the Cartoon Animator program, which is licensed for life, becomes more attractive.
My advice is Photoshop and Cartoon Animator will do the trick.
