CTP 2D Software

CTP is software specifically designed for broadcast and film quality animated series production. To run the CTP you only need a standard Windows computer, a simple scanner and a graphics tablet if applicable.

This software is ideal for all cartoon freelancers and producers, because it simplifies enormously their work flow: with a simple click on their mouse, cartoonists will achieve what previously took several hours. With the CTP, they can accomplish the entire production process from start to end, and become in this way full sequence producers.

In the same way, production houses will be able to work with many more external systems at the same time, but with unified criteria, increasing their productivity which will result in more income.

Its price is so affordable that cartoonists will be able to have it at their house or studio, and production houses will have more control over job planning.

Works on Mac OS X too
CTP works fine on Intel Macs (e.g. using Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP Pro).
You can even use your existing scanner and graphics tablet with USB interface as usual.

CTP is available in different versions:

The "Suites"
CTP Pro HD
With its resolution independence CTP Pro HD is ideal for professional cartoon productions for film and broadcast. Easily produce in industry standards, like PAL, NTSC, HDTV, Academy, Super 35, VistaVision, 2k, Cinemascope, and many more.
CTP Pro SD
is specifically designed for professional PAL or NTSC formatted cartoon productions. All other features are identical to CTP Pro HD.
CTP Home
For cartoon productions for web applications, DVD productions or even for ambitious private users CTP Home is the ideal solution, as it offers most of the functions of CTP Pro. However the maximum resolution and the number of layers are optimized to the purpose and results in an incredibly low price.

The "Satellites"
Apart from CTP Pro there are three "satellite" versions, which take the most popular features from the CTP Pro edition, and make them available as task-specific groups of functions. The "satellites" include Pencil Test, Paint and Scan versions of CTP Pro. The output of each of the "satellites" is fully compatible with CTP Pro and offer the exact same easy to learn user interface.

CTP Pencil Test
For sometimes necessary line tests in pre production CTP Pencil Test is the suitable tool for importing drawn materials using a video camera or a scanner for checking, cleaning, and animating. The resulting animation can easily be imported into CTP Pro using the X-Sheet.

CTP Paint
A fast and effective tool to paint your animation is CTP Paint. Due to its multilayer paint system you get immediate control over your painted drawings. Chose the desired colors from user palettes, RGB or HLS colors or user defined color models. The painted cells can easily be imported into CTP Pro for further processing.

CTP Scan
In larger productions it may desireable to split the scan process of hand drawn materials from the rest of the production process. CTP Scan allows scanning and cleaning of complete sequences in just one automated step. All you need to do is to feed in your drawings. The scanned materials will then be imported into CTP Pro.
