Onion (Silent Software)

nzo · 04 April 2016, 14:21

I've read in the 24th issue of Info magazine (Jan/Feb 1989) on page 53 an interview with a member of Silent Software.

"We're about to release a program called Onion which is an in-house animation development tool which allows our animators to do stuff in one day that would normally take weeks and, more importantly, allows them to see the playback in real time."

Somebody has this software?

onion maybe was only a working title for Disney Animation Studio - read here.
Here is another article about Silent Software and their "onion" technology.

I've asked the developer [ Show youtube player ] about Onion.

You were right emufan.
The answer from Reichart Von Wolfsheild:
Indeed. "Onion Skin" to be exact.
In Animation, they used to use Onion Skin paper in layers. You would usually work on 3 pages at a time, the one you are drawing, the prev and the next above it. This way you could quickly flip from one to the next to see a little movement.
