Odyssey is a plugin for Unreal Engine developed by Praxinos that allows you to create 2D animations, storyboards and textures directly within the engine, integrating traditional frame-by-frame animation tools (onion skinning, inbetweening, bitmap and vector brushes) with real-time 3D environments. It is now available for free on Fab and allows you to work in a hybrid mode without having to constantly switch between external software.

The fourth speech was held by Massimo Carrier Ragazzi (Maga Animation) entitled “Maga Animation Studio, 30th Years of CG”.
