Seems to me I read once of a script that keeps that dang antialiasing preview check box checked. I see that this still opens all files with the option turned off by default, whether you saved your file with it checked on or not. You would think that most people prefer to draw in Anime Studio using a...

MikDog: Construct, found at http://www.scirra.com/ , is really the best and non-programmer friendly open source 2D game software I've ever experienced, (and I have looked copiously). It was inspired by Multimedia Fusion, (ClickTeam), but the makers of Construct have greatly improved upon the Multime...

I really do think the guy, Paul, is onto something significant with Express Animator. Lots of streamlined Flash tools and functions for an extremely reasonable price. But, like some of you, I'm leery of investing in software that might become "evapoware". It exists now, today, but will it ...

Ulrik: One suggestion I can make is to save every 5 minutes or so, and give each file a new name. This way you can track at what point in "creation" you've done something the app does not like - that is if you care to go through all of this "pain". It is painful, after all, and r...

Ramon: Well, I've had over 25 hours of testing time with PICMO, and, although it offers tremendous promise, it has started crashing every few minutes, sometimes locking up my entire computer. I've run the gamut trying to troubleshoot the whys and wherefores, but no combination of settings seems to p...

Ramon: Maybe I got the Java versions mixed up. Anyway, the latest one is the one you DON'T want. You should install the previous version of Java. Regarding pins: Just like in After Effects, the fewer pins you can get away with the better. But, you can get much finer control by starting with a very l...

Ramon: I'm sorry you are having difficulties. Make sure you are NOT running Java version 10.0. I think there are known issues with that virtual machine. Try version 9, instead. If that is not the problem, I've found that sending a message to the developers usually elicits a response. It could be XP ...

PICMO, the newest incarnation of UrumaDelviPaint, has been released for sale, (although the "store" is entirely written in Japanese). You can also download a 7 day, (saveless), demo of the new software via http://www.picmo.com Now, there are 2 types, or really 4 methods for creating animat...

I've been communicating with the developers of UrumaDelviPaint, and they informed me that they will be releasing the Japanese version, (with professional timeline animation features), on the 8th of December. The new version will be called PICMO, and, if they stick to their original release schedule,...

Every shape that you draw is encapsulated in a triangular, underlying mesh, (a deformation mesh). You can make this visible to see what the resolution is. I've found that if you draw your shape very large, initially, you get a deformation mesh that is much denser, higher resolution. Things like bend...

Yes, they want and need your money, but only 315 yen per month. That's a little over $3 per month. They've been trying to raise some investment capital for years, now, and have been unable to do so. Just look at your contribution as a donation to keep development going. I like these guys and the sof...

400th: Sure, I don't hold grudges, anyway. Can't afford to. Too old. I'll be lucky just to remember your name in a few weeks. I've always liked the software, still prefer the name Moho, (it's much easier to say) and always appreciate it when something gets simpler to use, which version 6 has done. B...

Mike: Thank you for your response to these questions. I agree with you about the value of allowing dissent and the voicing of concerns regarding features or the lack of them. And, I'm also glad you are listening. Forgive me if I have been too openly critical of what I actually feel to be one of the ...

400th: Your view is absolute baloney, in my opinion. There have been many issues reported with the version 6 release - and not just from me. It's becoming very, very clear to me that there is an Anime Studio fan club and voluntary police department, and a self-appointed sherrif, that allows no disse...

Since Vern has brought up the subject of "misinformation", let's examine a few recent quotes about this Action issue, from Vern, himself: What you are seeing isn't "real". Do the steps you describe. Now save the document. Open it again. The layers are correct. If you undock then ...
