Amazon has great deals on older versions, 9.5 is almost as good as 10, and it's about 240$ less on Amazon.
I suppose it depends on how you define "almost as good as", because quite frankly there are features in 10 that are not in 9.5 that I'm greatly attached to.

Re: Just Upgraded!

I have upgraded my copy of Anime Studio Pro 8 to Anime Studio Pro 9.5, two reasons, I lost my physical copy of ASP8, and after playing with bones I realized that I could really use smart bones and smart bone dials, that's why, my new ASP9.5 should be here by Thursday or Friday. When's the next time...

Re: Chad Troftgruben Book

I bought and received my copy from Amazon, but haven't really dived into it yet. Just received this email yesterday from Packt Publishing: We are sorry to inform you that due to some unforeseen circumstances the publishing date for the title "€œLearning Anime Studio" has been pushed forwa...

Re: Anime Studio and Flash

I love how the video refers to "tons of content", when in fact there really isn't that much especially when it comes to building new characters. Even with two add-on content packs, the muth selection is horrifically small, as well as noses. It's fun to mess around with, especially with 3D ...

Re: Anime Studio and Flash

TIP: Make sure to get the pipeline version. If you want to create characters with Flash make sure to get Puppet Producer as well. I view CTA in the same class as Poser and Daz Studio. Its and animation program for people who don't want to create their own content. Reallusion has its store set-up so...

Re: Anime Studio and Flash

I think where we are in disagreement is with the "support for SWF files is limited" statement. I think the ability to build characters and both animated and static props as well as Fx makes it pretty robust. The limitations are in the fact that the full character template is very rigid an...

Re: Anime Studio and Flash

Yep, that's pretty much what constitutes a scene, characters and props. :? Reread the OP. They were asking if there was a way to import a character as a FLA file. Your response was CrazyTalk can use Flash files, which was completely misleading in context of the OP. CTA cannot import FLA files. And ...

You can only use SWF files with CrazyTalk Animator, not Flash files themselves (*.fla). And the support for SWF files is limited for animated or non animated props and character limbs (saved individually).

Re: Basic Animations (Test)

I'm going to assume you want some constructive criticism, so right off the bat, two things I noticed that could be a bit improved upon. The wrecking ball hanging from the chain is too still, there is no sway to the balls movement hanging from the chain. When the chain moves, the wrecking ball itself...

Re: creating character layers yes or no?

This is something I've been debating back and forth too. Say for the example, the arm... If you create an upper arm and a lower arm layer, depending on your art work you may also need a patch layer, so there's added complexity there (3 layers versus 1). But you can bind the bones to layers, which is...

Re: Spine: 2D skeletal animation engine

Most game engines provide attach points or some similar mechanism for sprites, so adding accessories can still be handled while leaving the original sprites as is. Of course this doesn't work well for clothing changes, but anything else such as weapons, shields, or other attachments are still handle...
