... did you not read that? (it's considered good form to read a thread starting at the beginning)... I'm just not sure how much to explain to you as perhaps English isn't your first language ... this means primary, or principle, or first -- I'm really trying to be helpful to you here Okay, mkelley,...

I didn't base my critique of TB DP on that sentence Well, forgive me for misunderstanding you - it must have been this other sentence that you wrote that confused me: but even if someone thinks TB and all its variants are the cats pajamas must surely wonder at the line in that tutorial about how it...

It makes sense they would charge you for both versions - after all, you could keep your PC and your Mac and have two licences of AS running at the same time. If you don't want to pay extra, you could run Parallels and run the Windows version from in there. But they SHOULD allow you to switch at the ...

This whole discussion is completely moot anyway, because mkelley misread the Toonboom site: It can be very time consuming to animate a story and you don’t necessarily want to wait two or three months for it to be completed. With Digital Pro you can have it ready in a week or two! They're talking abo...

OpenOffice and Linux seem to be struggling along okay under the open source principle. Oh, yes, I forgot. I'd rather AS be MS Office than OpenOffice, and OSX than Linux. :) Hmmm, Rhoel, with your suggestion that AS go open source, is it coincidence that we had that GPL troll in the Discussion forum...

Let's see how SynFig does before throwing the baby out with the bathwater, eh?

I'd rather AS became a Photoshop than a Gimp, an Animation Master than a Blender, an Illustrator than an Inkscape.

Digital theory is you can import a 100 x 100 image, save it out and the result will be 100 x 100. every pixel will line up with the original. That's true for compositing and editing programs that have a pixel-for-pixel correlation between source and output images. However, 2D and 3D drawing package...

Never used ToonBoom, but I found out recently it was used to make THE SIMPSONS movie. The Simpsons Movie was made using the MUCH more expensive Harmony software, not the Toon Boom Studio software that people are talking about here. Toon Boom Harmony and Toon Boom Studio are very different packages....

LOL!

That sums it up perfectly!

Rhoel, that New Zealand guy has largely been discredited now. Also the downgrading switch is only if the content creator decides to use it, it's not Microsoft's decision. They only implemented it in order to comply with full specifications. It's unlikely that content creators will risk turning it on...

You know, I don't think this is a problem for Anime Studio - it's different to Flash in so many ways that you make a choice based on many things, not just whether it has IK or not. It IS a problem for Toon Boom, because nobody's going to stump up thousands of dollars for their Solo/DP software (whic...

Why is it an executable file?

People will be scared to download it in case it's a virus, and Mac and Linux users won't be able to use it at all.

In the web 2.0 world of today, there has to be ways to automate this process of letting people grade your animation by visiting a website. It's already happened in Web 1.0 - Cartoon Network let web viewers grade their pilots to decide what would be made into a series. I think it was called Cartoon ...

I think there might be some confusion here - Retas is by the same people who make Manga Studio*. Anime Studio is written by a different company. Therefore, it's not as easy a thing to add functionality from Retas into Anime Studio as it would be to add to Manga Studio. *I think, anyway. CelSys, isn'...
