Cintiq: New Hardware for Our 2D Animators

Wacom Cintiq tablets

Escape Studios has recently acquired new Wacom Cintiq tablets for our 2D animation students, enabling them to draw directly onto the screen rather than onto a tablet. 

The new Wacom Cintiq drawing pads are available to our 2D animation students in the main 2D animation studio, PalletTown, on the 11th floor at 6 Mitre Passage.

The Wacom Cintiq tablets enable our students to draw directly onto the screen, as is now standard practice across the industry.  

2D Animation at Escape Studios

Toonboom Harmony

2D Animation is expanding at Escape Studios, and we have been acquiring new software and hardware for our students.  

Toonboom Harmony

All our students have access Toonboom Harmony licenses at Escape Studios, and also (if working from home) remotely through the VPN.  Toonboom also offers student licenses of Toonboom Harmony, so that our students can work from home without needing to access the VPN.

TV Paint

We also have a number of TV Paint licenses, enabling our students to learn how to use this now industry-standard software.  

Adobe Animate

TV Paint

Adobe Animate (formerly Flash) is available as part of the Adobe Suite.

Anim Bot Licenses 

We also have Anim Bot Licenses for our 3rd Year students.  AnimBot is the Maya plugin formerly known as aTools, which you can read about here.

Some of our 3rd year 2D animators are working in Clipstudio.
