Anime Studio Rose Agent

Showcases Power and Flexibility of Anime Studio

e frontier, Inc., has launched Rose Agent, the first anime character built specifically with Anime Studio enthusiasts in mind.

Rose Agent is fully vector-drawn and "bone rigged" with video clips that will help even the newest users draw and create compelling animations for their own high-end vector characters. Rose Agent also comes fully rigged with props and outfits to demonstrate the power and flexibility of vector animation.

Anime Studio is a complete animation solution for creating 2D movies, cartoons, anime or cut-out animations. Users can easily create animated shorts in the style of SouthParkStudios.com and JibJab.com, or produce full-length animation for film, video or streaming over the web. Anime Studio also enables users to draw original art, import digital pictures, add sound, dub and add subtitles to existing videos or choose from many built-in characters.

Anime Studio is ideal for animators of any caliber to help save time, while delivering quick, professional results. Tutorials and extensive user guides make animating easy for hobbyists, while still satisfying the most experienced animators with its numerous features and powerful capabilities.
