I'm now planning to do some cartoon animation and I was wondering if anybody has used Inkscape for this purpose as part of your workflow. I realize that Inkscape isn't set up to do animation in and of itself, but I could see it working really well in conjunction with a sound editor and a compositing tool, compositing a series of png outputs.

Just yesterday I stumbled across http://www.synfig.com/. It's a bit rough on the edges, but a very interesting vector animation app with a resolution independet canvas and a timetrack working with absolute time, not frames like flash does. So for anyone who wants to do animation right now, it should be a much better choice.

Anyone who would like to add animation to Inkscape should have a look at it.

(The only other open source animation app I'm aware of right now is Ktoon, but I havn't checked it out yet)

Cheers, Thorsten Wilms

I've tried both of those and they are not developed well enough to do much work in very comfortably. Ktoon last time I checked doesn't even have an undo feature and synfig didn't have a freehand tool for drawing and the interface was very confusing.
