Ink & Pixel
Ink & Pixel is Toonstar’s internal machine-learning and generative-AI system for producing animated content.
Ink & Pixel is Toonstar’s proprietary production technology. It combines machine learning and generative AI to speed up animation while keeping writing, visual direction, and character decisions under human control.
Toonstar uses it with Spot, its audience-signal system, to produce and adjust digital-first animated series. It is described as internal studio technology rather than a public software product, and no public pricing, sign-up, or API documentation was found.
