>> Phil — Animator Studio is also the successor to Animator and Animator Pro — so in all probability Animator Pro itself is as close as your going to get for an Animator Lite program. And while prices on Animator Pro are likely to drop, you can bet support for…
>> Sometimes, animation studio simply locked up. Nothing works. I have to reset the system. It did not give out any warnings. Once it happened when I tried to play a script with four movies. I already reduced the color resolution to 256 to save memory.

>> What is the current price for Animator Studio? It was suggested by "NAAUG" (whatever that is) that I ask you. I have Animator Pro 1.3.
>> Does Animator Studio play sound flicks smoother and faster in Windows than does the Windows Player using .FLC and .WAV files with a script?
>> Would mpeg compression of fullscreen flic files result in any significant compression, given how compressed flics are already? And how would the quality look? And the size? I'm considering this option in order to put my animation with sound onto the Web, and mpeg seems to be the method…

Quick note… if you need SVGA drivers for Trident 8900, download VESA drivers off Trident BBS… been using them for years… 1024x768x256 works great. let me know if you need their number. -dave
>> I am sorry but I still not sure why you think that windows is for the "common man" and Win 95/NT is for the super user. It is like you are saying Dos 3.5 is for the "common man" and 6.2 is for the super user the point is…

Hi Ernie! 🙂 >> I've been reading some messages about how AS won't run under Windows 95. Do you have any inside scoop on this? I find this _very_ hard to believe as it would be the _first_ program I've come across that won't run under W95. A "brand new"…
>> GH> I believe a standard VGA card (capable of only 640x480x16 OR 320x200x256) only had 64 levels of RGB (ie: 64x64x64) so it could only choose 256 colours from a possible 262,144…It's just I don't remember there being 64 levels on the sliders. I thought there were 256 levels…

>> No messages for what is actually kind of a cool program. But can Chaos really exist? Or is that the ultimate reality behind all things? We only think it has some order to it because we are a part of the same chaotic soup.

>> Anyone know of any books on Animator Pro? I've seen plenty of 3D Studio books but never any on Animator Pro. The tutorials for both programs are great, but I would like to see other lessons and concepts to see what might be interesting for my class.

>> Cool concept, uhn? 🙂
>> Think about it for a minute, If Autocad is already running on NT and 3D Studio will be there around the first part of next year, doesn't it also make sense that you should EXPECT to see an NT version of Animator Studio to follow suit in time for…
