ToonComposer Workflow: From Sketch to Animation

Sketch-to-Animation

Transform simple sketches into fluid cartoon animations using AI-powered generative post-keyframing. Works with minimal input - just sparse keyframes and colored reference frames.

Sparse Input Support

Excels with minimal input requirements. Requiring as few as a single sketch and colored reference frame, while supporting multiple sketches at any temporal location for precise motion control.

Region-wise Control

Specify blank regions in sketches for the model to generate plausible content based on context or text prompts. Allows input sketches to be spatially sparse, reducing labor requirements.

Unified Workflow

Combines inbetweening and colorization into a single generative process, eliminating separate workflows and reducing error accumulation between traditional animation stages.
