Most Unusual Animation Tool?
For some of our more experienced users who've been in the animation field for a while... what is the most unusual animation "tool" you've used to date? In my case, it'd be the 5th generation iPod, which I'm currently using to construct a reference database of several animated shows from mu...

It sounds like you might want to rotoscope 2D animation content into a pre-rendered 3D scene. If you are using an external 3D package, maybe you can have it render certain objects independently from the background using alpha channels (and maybe some shadow catchers) while still preserving the overa...

The texturing and animation tools in it are reasonably powerful for the price, but modelling can be somewhat awkward in it depending on the version used. I'd probably look for a used version of Carrara Studio Pro v5 or a new,...

Hmm... that seems a bit on the large size there, furby... You might want to try encoding it as h.264 using an app like iSquint to reduce that down. You should be able to take some liberties with the audio (22KHz, Mono is typically good for voice) and video (8 - 12fps usually works well for screen ca...

The animation festival, oddly enough, is rarely the channel Nickelodeon use to seek out new programming ideas for their regular shows. (That's not to say it couldn't happen at some point, though.) If your primary intent is to pitch a series, rather than entering a contest for the fun of it, you migh...
