The artwork is interesting, but I think it would be more effective if the movements of the characters matched the beat of the music.

Check it out. You'll need a DivX codec to play it. http://www.bruandboegie.co.za/bruandboegie/happyland_web_1.avi http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7692/happylandstill1ut6.gif Very cute! The voices reminded me of Terrence and Phillip! However, I also watch animation without the sound, just so I ca...

GreyKid produced 30 minutes for the film.

Very well done! There is yet hope for 2D animation, despite Eisner!

So guys heres the latest.

What you are about to view is a promo for the feature we are finishing this week "La Reine Soleil - Queen of the Sun". Based on the famous novel by Christian Jacq.

Wow, you certainly have raised the bar...

When exporting a movie one can choose for extra smooth images. Where can I find what this option does and what effect it has when enabling it? Frank It's in the online help... it provides better anti-aliasing for the exported animation, making it higher quality. It also impacts rendering times, of ...

Here's a link to my first attempt with ASP5. Sort'a learning as I go... http://www.dvtvfilm.com/FTP/WTC-101Tips-tip5.mov (original size 720x480) Constructive comments appreciated. regards Well done! I watched without sound just so I could focus on the animation. The framing is good, and the animati...

Being able to import SVG (scalable vector graphics) would be very nice... many vector graphics tools use this format and it is becoming more and more standardized... and would be useful for those who don't have Adobe Illustrator but have vector graphics they want to use in Anime Studio.

Why don't we wait to see how Synfig gets on now it is OSS - if it does well, then we can re-open this discussion. I agree..this is getting topic is getting a little stale now.. as the full commercial software is out there and still in it's infancy. Guest, please check out Synfig. it's probably goin...

Open Source can make money for software developers, it really can.. In some cases giving away your product to the world, can be the smartest and largest money making thing you have ever done. Reason being, is because Open Source solutions, when there are no others (which are nearly as good anyhow)....

Yeah, crashcode's got some good stuff, Fazek's stuff is invaluable as well. Lua can read like psuedocode, theres a few particular bits to learn but if you can code, you're hooked up. I've done a lot with it, and I think I'm really a kinda crappy coder. My stuff is often clunky and stupid, but dammi...

Well so much of the core of what AS (never gonna get used to it, I liked the name Moho- that's my single statement) is in Lua, and except for a few tweaks all the API for that is public.... I'd love to see some of the core code (although I'd probably have to study a bit to understand it properly). ...

I've asked for one before, but it likely still doesn't exist. I've figured a lot of it out just studying (and messing with) the files, and you might be able to hack out a little more going through the Photoshop export script. It's a good idea. There aren't too many bits I couldn't figure out, but s...

Thanks, easy enough to generate regardless (y = x^2)

There are some excellent user created scripts in the Scripting forum. One of these is a group of tools created by user macton. http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2448 There are a few that allow you to draw a curve and then paste the animation to match that curve. I have to head to work...

Is there a document that details the Moho/Anime Studio Pro file specification? I thought it might be handy to use something like Perl to generate procedural animation effects. I realize there is a lot that can be done with LUA also inside of ASPro, but, like with the Renderman API, being able to gen...
