Pixel Joint Forum: Autodesk Animator: Worth learning it?

Message

   Hey,

I'm currently trying to avoid working on an animation, so I try blaming the software 

Well - The Feeble Files (or Floyd) had a terrific pixel art intro made with Autodesk Animator.

Has anyone experience using it? Maybe I should admit that I'm already using ProMotion *cough*. So if AAP is capaple of magic tricks, I'd be pretty interested to learn it.

	Autodesk animator is an pretty old soft. I start animating with this program and you can get awesome results. The work is very fast and is a very solid program. The only bad thing its that you cannot use layers and is for the old MSDOS system so i think it will not work on actual windows platforms. Lately Autodesk released a windows version but i think the program was not as good as the msdos version in the handle and solidity concepts. The program hung much times. Promotion its a version of it updated for today in some ways. But still using not layers. For me the best of the best is TVPaint. TRy it and tell me. See you.

	Hi Fran, thanks for the reply. The older Autodesk Animator works pretty good with dosbox. At least, all fiddling around didn't cause a crash. I'll definitely take a look at TVPaint. It looks very impressive, altough I'm not sure I'll really want to use this for pixel based animations :D Well, it does support indexed palletes and gif, so let's see! Thanks again!
