Introduction
Celas Studio is a pro 2D animation studio that brings vector and raster onto one canvas — rig, deform, paint and animate, all in one app.
This documentation covers everything from your first launch to rendering a finished shot. Celas Studio is built so the whole pipeline — painting a background, drawing and rigging a character, animating and exporting — happens in one place, without hopping between apps.
What you can do
- Rig characters with an advanced bone system, bone dynamics and wind
- Warp artwork with mesh deform and join shapes with vector weld
- Paint on infinite pixel layers right next to vector cells
- Animate on an advanced timeline with a graph editor
- Move through your scenes with a multiplane camera
One app, one purchase
Celas Studio is a one-time purchase — no subscription. Buy it once on the store of your choice and it's yours to keep, updates included.
