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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAIdhuFlY8w (first minute) 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. ------------- Fran Gonzalez Illustrator-Animator www.fran-gonzalez.com |

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! |
