Anime Studio 7 is now available

[heiseman]

Motion graph mode does not work well at all from my experience. There's always still unwanted smoothing around the keyframes. Anyway, a real shame. All the other features are exciting, but I just wish they fixed ease in/out and added editable velocity curves.

What about a customer, who just buyed ASP 6 on 14th May 2010? Is there any possibility for a less expensive update? If I had known that ASP7 will come out, I would have waited with buying ASP6!

Tagirijus,

I think you're in luck! Have a look at http://anime.smithmicro.com/index_pro.php where you'll read...

FREE UPGRADE INFO: If you purchased Anime Studio 6.0 from a Smith Micro authorized reseller AFTER 5/9/2010, you qualify to receive a free upgrade. Fax your dated purchase receipt, your email address and your serial number to our customer service group at 831-761-6206.

Then shed a tear for me - I went to ASP 6 Pro in April!

[Tagirijus]

Oh man; I must have overlooked this info. Thanks a lot. I will contact the customer service. Thanks!

And moreover: you have got my full commiseration regarding your buy... that is quite unfortunately.

[Fergus]

I sort of wish you hadn't asked the question - I was already irritated that they were offering new customers the full version at the same price as upgrade. Now I have another grumble!

Oh well, such things are character building - very important in animation software.

I've played with AS_7 Pro a bit...like it....but how do you access the Simulated Physics? Is it in the bones? LOST and waiting for definitive Tutorials.

you have to create a group and put your layers inside. Open the group proprieties and activate Physics. Then, you can setup each layer proprieties. Remember to create a ground.

Thanks selgin....I just read an explanation on another thread. I guess that qualifies me as a true n00b, since I didn't look far enough.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I hope it's as easy as it sounds.

Repeating Genetes question;
When will there be a linux version?

AS7 looks great from the stills and specs, not able to try out trough since I'm not having any Microsoft or Apple systems.

Hi Rylleman,
what animation software do you use on Linux?

[Dodgy]

One thing I'm still missing which would be really useful is the ability to independently scale bones in their x and y direction. This is essential for easy squash and stretch animation, where you decrease the size in x while increasing it in Y and vice versa.

Hi Rylleman,

Glad you asked. And sorry for being a bit off topic here.
My main tools is Anime Studio Pro(v6) and Synfig Studio. then I use some other tools to different degrees;Pap and Pencil. Also relies heavily on Gimp, Ffmpeg, Avidemux, Kdenlive among others.
TVPaint has released a linux beta which is very great. I do mostly cut-out animation so I have not been using TVP much as it's targeted towards drawn animation.

Can we make Our own Content Library. I don't need the default one. And it is not possible to copy all the project folders to C drive. Any solution?

[Tagirijus]

I'm not exactly sure, what your problem is, but maybe this can help you:

Good luck; helped me.

The content library doesn't work at all if you firewall ASP to stop it talking to Content Paradise.
