Jester allows the laborious colouring process of cartoon production to be automated, whilst maintaining the original hand-drawn quality of a cartoon.
This is achieved by scanning hand-drawn cels into the system. The images are then vectorised, resulting in a clean, ready to paint sequence. Jester's paint interface is powerful, with over 16 million colours, yet easy to use. Cels can be painted individually or left for Jester to track the motion of the coloured areas. Cartoon sequences may also be viewed via a clip manager.
Jester is resolution independent and fully integrated with Parallax's Matador® and Advance products, so that cartoons may be combined with unlimited layers of 2-D and 3-D elements, or live action.
