Thought that this was kinda funky - Sumo Paint - it's a free and surprisingly well featured paint program.

Animoto is a new on-line service for generating eye catching slide shows - just tried it out, here's my first attempt. The images are all my photos and the music is by Colin Hay, former lead singer of Men at Work - remember them?

Downloaded it. Doesn't run, just crashes to a reboot. Dale I'm sorry it didn't work. I was able to downloaded it, install the program, run the activation program and it works a treat (Win XP Pro, SP2, AMD Athlon X2 4400, 2GB ram, geforce 7900 GS) Its a metaball modeller that generates 3d from drawi...

Hi guys, First of all, thanks Vern for standing up for me. I appreciate the support. Thanks too everyone else who's had nice things to say about Anime Studio/Moho. We all like to hate faceless corporations, but inside the company are real people, and I for one am glad that users appreciate the work...

Ouawwwww ! Fantastic 2D frog !!! I have tested with the default cartoon render of Daz : (With a rotation of the distant light and without rotation ! And with 30% ambient color then with 100% !) Interesting (thanks dazza101 !) but strange outlines ! :cry: It could be better with toonshaders in Daz !...

Some examples : http://artzone.daz3d.com/azfiles/gallery/nl/bw/7to0j84rhgmd9qx3ypis23f1gb99t0-pre.jpg Carrara 6.2.1 Pro default 3D render of PiSong's TreeFrog, using a distant light source with basic ambient brightness set at 20% http://artzone.daz3d.com/azfiles/gallery/dn/te/ybgz2ryurdfmklcs9etk6zy...

I just tried it and the same trick works in Carrara as well!

Looks very funky... http://vimeo.com/1669862?pg=embed&sec=1669862 ... but doesn't seem to be available yet.

I received a note about an on-line survey being conducted about AS by a website called flashfilmaker.com for an upcoming article. I don't know the website, but after checking it out it seems legit, so maybe worth contributing to their survey. The survey URL is http://flashfilmmaker.com/news/animestu...
