Sysop, Would you forward this to someone who knows about the new AutoDesk Animator Studio. I have read a little about the new Animator Studio package and I am encouraged that it will be significantly better than the Animator Pro. I make 2D Character Animation (Disney Style) and I was very dissappointed in Animator Pro. I have been looking for a IBM based package that will create 2D character animation, with Light Table effect, Animation Stand functions, exposure sheet controls, anti-aliasing, real-time play and record, and sound-track matching. I am hearing that I need to invest in a Power MAC and some expensive Macintosh software to get professional quality 2D character animation to video matched with a sound track. I hope you have some good news for me about wether this new Animator Studio package will take care of all this. Questions: When will it be released, can I get a demo reel, what will the pricing be, what are its abilities considering what I am looking to do, and what is the minimum hardware setup to get good performance. Thank you, Eddy R. Wood 73061,1407
