LogInOdyssey is designed for 2D artists who know very little about 3D software.
Venturing into the 3D world can be tough for a 2D artist, and Praxinos understands it, so the company created Odyssey – a 2D animation software powered by Unreal Engine.
Odyssey is designed for 2D artists who don't know much about 3D software. It has a simple interface with a canvas, a timeline, and a set of 258 brushes "to work in the best possible conditions." Its many vector tools, including warp grid, line thickness, smart eraser, and palettes of indexed colors, will help you combine vector and bitmap and create outstanding art.
The best part is you can simply drag and drop your 2D works and animations in a 3D environment and even edit them there. And if you need to see how this mix of 2D and 3D is going to look, there is a storyboarding module to combine your drawings with 3D scenes.
"Odyssey projects exactly have the same structure as Unreal Engine's: you can add assets from the Marketplace or migrate content from a project to another! You can even combine Odyssey with source control solutions like Git or Perforce."
Praxinos also has some other handy tools for artists:
- EPOS – a smart plugin for Unreal Engine to manage scene placement both in space and time.
- ILIAD – a drawing plugin for Unreal Engine that will allow you to edit and create images while remaining in the environment of the engine.
- ULIS – Utility Library for Imaging System, created to answer the specific needs of ILIAD and Odyssey related to the context of raster-based drawing in a 3D environment powered by Unreal Engine.
For now, Odyssey is in beta and available for Windows only, but the team is working on a macOS version. The Freelancer plan will cost you €50/month or €1,200 for a perpetual license.
