Description:

This is a simple animation line testing software written in C++ with Qt toolkit.

For some time I was looking for some line testing software like MonkeyJam for Linux. If there's anything like that, I couldn't find it. There are some animation software for Linux, and they are good enough. But I need more drawing options like in an image editor, and the animation software can't give me that. All I need was some software to test my animations drawn in image editors like MyPaint and Gimp. I'm aware that these two programs have some plugins or hacks to work with animations, but they use layers as frames, and they don't have a real layer system to work with. That's where White Elephant comes in.

The usage of translations isn't compatible with Qt 4.7.x, so you will need Qt 4.8 to compile. If you can't upgrade to Qt 4.8, you can use v1.6.1 which is compatible.

I can't remove the last comment, so I wanted to add that, the github repo for White Elephant isn't available anymore.

Use Oinut instead. You can find Oinut in my content, just look at my profile.

I'm the original developer of White Elephant. Since I canceled my old e-mail account, I can't reach this content.

If you'd like to try an animation software, try Oinut, which is way much more improved than White Elephant. See my profile.
