Toon Boom Technologies has released the LightTable module upgrade, which is compatible with USAnimation V5 and runs on Windows 2000. The LightTable module allows animators to work remotely and send their drawings electronically to their partner studio anywhere in the world. With the LightTable module, animators can hand-draw animation with a pressure-sensitive pen and graphic tablet based on the classical light table approach and use these vector drawings with all of the other USAnimation modules. The upgrade includes new vector drawing and repainting tools, the ability to build and export USAnimation Paint files, the possibility to display bitmap images and live-action sequences for rotoscoping, support for the import of audio files and multiple sounds at playback and the ability to lip sync sound files.
