AnimeEffects

🇯🇵 (Outdated) 日本語

A 2D animation tool which doesn't require a carefully thought-out plan, it simplifies animation by providing various functions based on the deformation of polygon meshes.
Originally developed by hidefuku, it is now being developed and maintained by its community.

Linux (Debian)

Compilation and AppImage creation

• Most of these dependencies are unnecessary as they come with your distro so check against your own packages:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y software-properties-common g++ make cmake ninja-build wget rsync build-essential libglib2.0-0 
sudo apt install -y libgl1-mesa-dev file libvulkan-dev openssl python3 python3-pip libxcb-cursor0 libxrandr2 wget
pip install -U pip
pip install aqtinstall
aqt install-qt linux desktop 6.6.2 gcc_64 -m qtimageformats qtmultimedia qt5compat
git clone https://github.com/AnimeEffectsDevs/AnimeEffects
cd AnimeEffects
cmake -S . -B build -G "Ninja Multi-Config"
cmake --build build --config Release
cd build/src/gui/Release 
mkdir -p appdir
cp AnimeEffects appdir
cp -R ../data appdir/data
cp -R ../../../../dist appdir/dist
cp ../../../../dist/AnimeEffects.png appdir
find appdir/
export APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1
wget -c -nv "https://github.com/p-yukusai/linuxdeployqt/releases/download/continuous/linuxdeployqt-continuous-x86_64.AppImage"
chmod a+x linuxdeployqt-continuous-x86_64.AppImage
./linuxdeployqt-continuous-x86_64.AppImage appdir/dist/AnimeEffects.desktop -extra-plugins=imageformats,multimedia,core5compat -appimage -verbose=2       
chmod a+x AnimeEffects-x86_64.AppImage

Windows

Compilation and folder creation

• The installation steps assume you have installed all the requirements through their installers and you have them in your path

git clone https://github.com/AnimeEffectsDevs/AnimeEffects
cd AnimeEffects
cmake -S . -B build -G "Ninja Multi-Config"
cmake --build build --config Release
cd build/src/gui/Release
mkdir .\AnimeEffects-Windows-x64
windeployqt --dir .\AnimeEffects-Windows-x64 .\AnimeEffects.exe
Copy-Item -Path "..\data" -Destination ".\AnimeEffects-Windows-x64\" -recurse -Force
Copy-Item ".\AnimeEffects.exe" ".\AnimeEffects-Windows-x64\"

MacOS

Compilation and .app creation

• These steps assume xcode, brew, wget, python 3 and pip are installed on your system

brew install cmake ninja vulkan-headers
pip install -U pip
pip install aqtinstall
aqt install-qt mac desktop 6.6.2 clang_64 -m qtimageformats qtmultimedia qt5compat
git clone https://github.com/AnimeEffectsDevs/AnimeEffects
cd AnimeEffects
cmake -S . -B build -G "Ninja Multi-Config"
cmake --build build --config Release
cd build/src/gui/Release 
mkdir -p appdir/usr/lib
cp -R AnimeEffects.app appdir/AnimeEffects.app
cp -R ../data appdir/data
cp -R ../../../../dist appdir/dist
find appdir/
cd appdir
macdeployqt AnimeEffects.app
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenZWave/ozw-admin/master/scripts/macdeployqtfix.py && chmod a+x macdeployqtfix.py
