Odyssey, for audacious animated films
Combine the power of Unreal Engine with the spontaneity of a drawing software
Odyssey is entirely designed for 2D artists who know very few (if anything) about 3D software. Enjoy a simple -but effective- interface with a canvas, a timeline and a a whole host of great brushes to work in the best possible conditions.
Combine vector and bitmap for incredible results, thanks to the ingenuity of the many vector tools (warp grid, line thickness, smart eraser, palettes of indexed colors...) and the fantastic - almost natural - rendering of our 258 raster brushes included in Odyssey.
Need to explore more dimensions? You can easily use your 2D artworks and animations in a 3D environment thanks to a simple drag and drop! You even can edit them directly from the 3D environment.
Enjoy the storyboarding module to combine your beautiful drawings with 3D environments. Discover the freedom to easily move cameras and objects anywhere to create stunning and effective animatics.
Based on the most powerful engine in the world, Odyssey allows you to enjoy a slew of features, from lighting to post-process volumes, to change the composition of your 2D/3D scenes.
Odyssey projects exactly have the same structure as Unreal Engine's: you can add assets from the Marketplace or migrate content from a project to another! You can even combine Odyssey with source control solutions like Git or Perforce.
Designed for 2D artists, powered by 3D real-time technology. Free your creativity with Odyssey!
Odyssey is a whole stand-alone software based on Unreal Engine. If you are familiar with computer development, Odyssey is kind of a fork from Unreal Engine source code, meaning you don't have to install Unreal Engine to use Odyssey. Odyssey comes with its own licensing system (thanks to a custom launcher) and even have its own Project Browser, with specific templates designed for the animation industry.
Odyssey is designed for 2D artists. At Praxinos, we put a lot of effort to make sure the tool can be used even if you have never used Unreal Engine or any other 3d software. To help you learn, you can find a user guide, a Youtube channel with video tutorials, a Discord server, and a contact form. We also provide trainings to schools, studios and learning centers.
Technical support is included in all purchased or leased licenses. You are warmly invited to contact us (Discord, email) if you experience any issue with Odyssey or if you simply want to submit an idea to improve the tool. Custom development and/or reinforced support which require a significative work from our team may be quoted. Contact us beforehand for more information.
If you own a single-user license, you will have to deactivate your license ticket from the launcher of your old computer before using it on the new computer. If you have network licenses, the number installation on client machines is unlimited. However, there will be a maximum number of simultaneous connections authorised, depending on the order placed.
Odyssey is a 2d animation software based on Unreal Engine. It requires a computer with a good GPU, CPU and 32GB of memory to use a 3d environment (16gb is enough for 2d only). Regarding operating systems, there is only a version for Windows at the moment. The version for MacOS is under development and should be released soon. Your license ticket will be then compatible for both systems. Click here for more information.
Student licenses are not limited in time or in features: you can still use your license after your studies, for personal work. Note that, according to the EULA, you must add a logo Unreal Engine and Odyssey in your final work made with a student license.
