Hi all,

I'm an animation software developer and recently launched a new project I have been working on for some time called http://www.toonfu.com/ - Toon Fu . If anyone has used Adobe After Effects, it's very similar, but easier to use and geared for pixel animation. Here's a quick video of how it works:

Hopefully some of you more talented pixel artists can try it out and give me some feedback. You can upload images as well as animated gifs, so you can use pre-existing art. Eventually I'll be expanding the community portion of the site and adding alot more features to the tool itself, but it's a start for now :)

Enjoy!
Alan

I have no Idea why noone is posting here, but that is a VERY interesting program you have there.

I'm adding it to my Prism programs.

Thank you very much. It's been my labor of love ever since I closed http://16color.com/ - 16 Color a few years ago. I'm trying to raise awareness of it, but I hate anything marketing-related :)

Whoa, you made 16 Color? Man, I loved that site. I made a couple of animations there. Wish I could see them again.

This looks very cool. I'll have to play around with it :)

Wow, it's so easy to use. I wish I could use it for pencil tests for regular animation. Flipbook and those sort of programs never were never so intuitive.

Blueberry - do you remember your handle at 16 Color? I still have all the movies. I need to get them back online...

I can't remember exactly. Probably Blueberry_pie or DaKiller, but it may have been something else. If it helps, I remember that one of my movies was about this Frankenstein-esque mad scientist. He'd let a dead body get struck by lightning but it would end up getting burnt completely. Something like that.

Minor annoyance about the movie maker: the window it opens in is always a bit too small, causing the browser (both Firefox and IE) to display a horizontal scrollbar. Also, those favecolor boxes in the image editor are always red. I assume it should be possible to change and save the colour. Oh, and hotkeys for the tools in the image editor would be very convenient.
Other than that, it's a great program. I agree that it's very easy to use.

The popup window is resizable, so you should be able to stretch it so the scrollbars disappear. Does that work in Windows? I actually haven't tested it. Also, you can put new colors in the fave boxes by holding the ctrl/alt key and dragging the current color into it. And yes, hotkeys are coming... (there's a few already, but I need to add the rest).

I think I found http://16color.com/movies/search.pl?search_for=blueberry&search_in=director&search_date=*&search_rate=GR - your movies :)

Yeah, I know I can resize the window (and I like how it enlarges the workspace rather than scaling the whole thing up, by the way). That's why I called it a minor annoyance. Thanks for the tip about the fave boxes.

Oh man, those are definitely my movies, haha. I was 11/12 years old when I made those, judging by the URLs. I feel nostalgic and slightly embarrassed. Thanks for posting that :)

Blueberry, if you made that when you were just 12, you are really really talented! They really are good!
