AA and onion skin…
Message #163167
I have been using this technique and it works well for me. I have one question though that I have not been able to find in the reference material. When you draw the first frame in the first color in the gradient and insert a frame and choose the next…
Hi Juan, Although Dave's technique of using color gradient to simulate onion skinning may seem cumbersome, it works pretty well for those of us coming from traditional animation backgrounds. This product your friend is working on sounds interesting. Do you have a prototype as yet? I have thought of developing…
Juan, I had the same question and a helpful Compuserve member sent it to me. I am sending you a copy because I have been using this technique for two weeks and it works really well for me. It's not true onion skinning like you can get in ANIMO and…
I had a similiar problem with one of the 3D Studio flc's on the CD-ROM that came with Ani Pro. I had noticed that while the program was loading the flc the busy light was on quite a bit longer than other animations of the same size. I talked with…
Is this book "Using Animator" written for Autodesk Animator or Autodesk Animator Pro? Thanx in advance, Paul Frey Our World Comics
WARNING CalComp Tablets
Message #160778
I just wish I had been able to warn people before so many bought them. Well I'd like to report that the WACOM Artpad with pressure sensitive stylus is a much better alternative for less $$$$. Although, the tablet is small (4×5) I am quite happy with the results. It…
Is the tablet you have a 9×6 with pressure sensitive stylus? Also, are you able to use it in absolute mode (not relative or sometimes referred to as mouse mode)? I was unable to use my CalComp tablet in absolute mode with AniPro. This was very important to me. I…
I received a msg from dave aguilar, 73204,3522 who has been using Ani Pro for quite some time. He said that he uses the Wacom tablet. When I get mine (which should be in about two weeks), I'll give it a try and get back to you on my results.…
#WARNING CalComp Tablets
Message #159612
To all Ani Pro users in search of drawing tablets. I strongly advice against purchasing the CalComp Drawing Slate 6×9 tablet with pressure sensitive stylus. This product did not work in Summagraphics mode at all. It only appeared to work (and not very well) in relative (or mouse mode). It…
#CalComp tablet & AniPro
Message #159233
I just purchased a Calcomp 9×6 tablet and pressure sensitive pen. I have tried to use it with Ani Pro but I can only get the tablet to work when I use it as a mouse. I can't seem to use the absolute mode. I have used the summa config…
I have to thank you for reminding me about the onion skinning effect in Disney Ani Studio. I bought the package a while ago and did a few things with but I found the ink&paint feature very limiting. I think what I will do is draw my character animation in…
I haven't tried your suggestions as yet, but I have to thankyou for the thorough description you gave on the process. I am eager to try your method. I was wondering, have you used this method long? Or do you use some other piece of software for your pencil tests…
That's funny I was almost resorting to that. But it pained me to draw guides on my new ($$$$$$$) 17 inch monitor. But thanks for the advice. Paul Frey Our World Comics
Thanks for the info on the trace feature. I am eagerly awaiting Animator Studio as well. Although, the prelims I have seen are impressive, I think I will have to wait for a little while to get it. I only have a 486DX 40mhz with 16 meg. Not very efficient…
SVGA to NTSC convertor
Message #157445
Is there anyone out there that has found a SVGA to NTSC convertor that produces pretty good "flicker free" output for under $500? There is a festival coming up that I'd like to submit my animations that I created in Ani Pro 1.3. They don't require broadcast quality but they…
#Traditional Cel Anim
Message #157444
I am a used to using traditional tools for animating. I use translucent paper that allows me to see 3-5 frames back in my pencil rendering. I have bought Ani Pro 1.3 and am very happy with the painting tools. But I don't quite understand how to do traditional cel…
#info autodesk animator?
Message #152687
You might not remember me but you and I conversed back in early December about Autodesk Animator Pro. You said that its list price was $595. I have not been able to find it close to this price and was wondering if you could direct me to the vendor that…
#info autodesk animator?
Message #139707
I am interested in 2D animation on an IBM PC. I heard that the autodesk animator product had all the things I am looking for. Currently, I am running on a 486DX-40 with 8 meg (looking to expand to 16 or 20 meg soon), superVGA 14" monitor and 270 meg…
