About RETAS!PRO HD

The RETAS!PRO Series are digital animation production support tools first released in 1993 that allow animation production, which was previously conducted using cels and film, to be carried out on a personal computer. Animation production is divided into a variety of processes including “Drawing”, “Finishing (Painting)”, and “Shooting”, and normally the work for these processes is carried out separately. Matching this “separated” animation production style, the RETAS!PRO Series consists of several tools that have been designed for each function.

• As the North American experts of the Japanese award-winning animation suite RETAS!Pro, Humouring the Fates provides all the services your studio needs to become fully functional in the digital animation spectrum.

• RETAS! Pro enjoys a 95% market share in Asian animation studios, now it is available in the US, in English, with trained experts (that’s us) to assist you.

• This is our studio’s software of choice, and we use it for almost all our productions.

Sales & Training

HTF, Inc. has been with RETAS!Pro prior to its official North American release in 1997, and has been the Beta test-site for all new releases from Japan. Now all of our years of insider knowledge, workflow hacks, and expertise can be passed on to your company or school. We train professors and students at universities, professional animators, entire production houses, and individuals who just want to learn more about cutting edge, modern animation techniques. Our goal is to leave you with a new understanding about the entire workflow of digital animation production than you did before. We evaluate your company’s entire production pipeline to design a curriculum that fits your specific needs. We fully understand that no one school or company are truly alike. The only constant we can attest to, after doing this for so many years, is that all animators (the world over) are a little… different… than normal people.

Development Concept

The HD, which is the 6th generation of the RETAS!PRO series was developed with the following 3 keywords in mind.

The RETAS!PRO HD series is a new generation animation production software that is the result of improvements and enhancements based on a careful revision of the older versions’ functionality.

Improvements have been made for supporting higher image quality and higher resolution to meet the needs for dealing with the upcoming terrestrial digital broadcasting (High Definition TV) era.

When migrating from the current SDTV (NTSC) to HDTV, it is necessary to process image data for approximately 5.6 times higher screen density per area. Processing capacity would reach its limit if the conventional raster based process is continued.

(2) Better screen presentation by using 16 bits and with enhanced special effects
To get more out of the higher resolution of HD, 16 bits/channel Color Picker has been added to the conventional 8 bits/channel.
Also, functions for special effects have been improved, allowing use of semi-transparent colors or high quality airbrush.

Improvements have been made to make it possible to use the animation in multiple media, that is, in TV animation, DVD, feature animation, publication, Internet, and cellular telephony.

• RETAS!PRO HD series fully support vector images as their resolution is scalable and as such allows you to give the material a second use (multiuse) by changing the resolution accordingly at output.
• RETAS!PRO HD series allows images created for TV animation to be exported to EPS and/or Flash formats (*) with their vector characteristics intact for their use with other software applications.
  * Export to EPS or Flash format is available for vector image data only.
• The material can be used to produce high quality images for cinema animations or publications.
• The material can also be used to produce lower resolution images for use in cellular telephony or Web animation (Flash)
• Vector image quality does not deteriorate even when its resolution is changed because the most appropriate resolution for the use is applied.

The RETAS!PRO HD has been developed to match the workflow of the production site and reproduce the animator’s skill as much as possible, and make the production more efficient. Backward compatibility and usability of older versions are also important aspects taken into consideration in the design.

RETAS!PRO HD keeps backward compatibility

(1) Compatibility with older version data
In RETAS!PRO HD series, proprietary image formats (DGA and CEL) have been added to the conventional general image format (e.g., TGA) to enable the exchange of data created with older versions. (*)

(2) Possibility of using the conventional [Mono Traced] image workflow only
It is also possible to work with the conventional mono trace image workflow only, without using the enhancements introduced in RETAS!PRO HD such as multi-layer image and 16 bits/channel.

(3) Support for mixed conventional and [HD series] environment
Gradual migration to HD series is possible because RETAS!PRO HD can be placed in a workflow implemented with older RETAS!PRO by limiting the image formats to be used in the finishing to [mono traced] images with general image format (e.g., TGA), or place Ver. 5 series in a workflow implemented with RETAS!PRO HD.

[ Example: Either of the following types of workflow is possible ]

(* Image data (DGA format) created with STYLOS HD cannot be edited with STYLOS Ver.1)

I have been playing around with Retas Studio Pro HD for about a week, and cannot find many resources on it.
There are no books in English, very few Youtube tutorials, and the tech support from its company, Celsys, has been less than helpful.
I have been browsing the manuals, but they are huge and difficult for me to sit through; although, as translated manuals go, I've had worse.
Now, I am very new to this forum and forums in general, so please bear with me.
Also let me know if I am doing anything wrong here.
For anyone who doesn't know about this software, this is what I have down so far:

• Retas Studio Pro HD is a high performance 2d animation suite consisting of four apps
• These four apps cover each step of traditional animation, allowing for hybrid and paperless workflows
• It is the mainstay of animation studios across Japan, China, and the Koreas
• By means of intelligent, selective rendering, the shooting app, coreRetas HD, can decrease render times dramatically
• coreRetas operates on a system of 'scene' and 'pegbar' folders, and each scene folder contains data files that store posts from a built-in BBS, which can be accessed from within coreRetas. Beside this BBS is a progress manager, where team members can post progress reports of different jobs on the project.
• While there is no native support for cgi, any pre-rendered .avi or .mov footage can be imported and composited in coreRetas allowing for a variety of filmmaking techniques
• The Scanning and cleaning app, Traceman HD, allows for cleaning, separating, and vectorization of keyframes, so they they can be worked with more easily within the other apps
• The colorization app, Paintman HD, has many specialized palette and fill tools for cel shading keys and inbetweens quickly and efficiently
• The drawing app, Stylos HD, is supposed to be a light-weight, natural-feeling, vector drawing environment for creating and correcting frames with a tablet, haven't looked into this one much yet but could be good.

As this software is supposed to be high-efficiency, Celsys lists the system requirements as next to nothing:However, the software seems to run fine on my laptop:Though I haven't actually done anything with it yet.
The whole set costs $2400 on Amazon.
