ToonComposer is a generative AI tool developed by Tencent's ARC Lab, specifically designed to simplify the repetitive work part of traditional cartoon animation production. In the traditional process, animators need to manually draw the transition between keyframes (intermediate frame generation) and perform frame-by-frame coloring, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. And ToonComposer realizes three core automation functions through AI technology:
- Automatic intermediate frame generation: Simply provide the start and end keyframes, and the AI can automatically fill in the intermediate animation.
- Intelligent coloring system: Automatically colorize entire sequences based on user-supplied color keyframes
- multimodal control: Supports precise control of animation effects through text prompts and sketch guides
The tool reduces manual work that would otherwise take hours to the minute level, allowing creators to focus on keyframe design and story creation. As an open source project, its model weights and web interface are publicly available and support local deployment for use.
