Now that is one of the best pieces of news I've had all year!!I'm working on Anime Studio full time
I echo this. It helps a great deal to hear from Mike, even if he can't say much. Knowing that he's still working on the software is a lot of peace of mind for me.Rudiger wrote:If I say negative things about Anime Studio, it's only because I can see the great potential in it and hate the thought of it going to waste. However, hearing that Smith-Micro is putting money into it, and Mike is leading the development has certainly made my whole year!
I had a visit to an animation studio here in up state New York and almost cried when I saw them doing frame by frame cell work for a TV show.I'm still working to convince the NY animation industry what a gem AS is
Thanks for the info. It's good to know that Anime Studio has solid financial backing and its development team includes the software's originator. That's the way it should be. Long live Anime Studio!Lost Marble wrote: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 we do.
Now, speaking of "people inside the company"...here's the news I was hinting at to Vern: As of now, I am working at Smith Micro full time. And I'm working on Anime Studio full time. I can't really get more specific than that - Smith Micro is a publicly-traded company, so I can't make "forward looking statements". But I can tell you the simple facts: I am an employee of Smith Micro who works full time on Anime Studio.
Please rest assured that this is very good news for Anime Studio.

All I needed to hearI am working at Smith Micro full time. And I'm working on Anime Studio full time.

This message came in the nick of time for me since after reading this depressing thread, I was almost ready to throw aside AS and jump on the Toon Boom bandwagon.Lost Marble wrote:Hi guys,

I'm totally with you on that, Vern. There's just too much undiscovered country in the scripting. Even if development were dead, I'd have to exhaust the possibilities.They will have to pry ASP from my cold dead fingers to get me to switch.
Your comments are extremely helpful and I found them so on other parts of the Forum as well when I was lurking around reading threads before registering. Truely, I was ready to re-install Toon Boom when I read this thread with Mike saying that the rumors were untrue. So, thanks for your kind words and great deeds.heyvern wrote:Glad you are sticking with ASP banjar!
Just to be clear, nothing was said in the AS literature about importing Flash, only AI and EPS. ....When you mentioned the hours spent converting files from one program to another I couldn't help but think that is why I won't be switching from ASP to anything else anytime soon.
