#books on AniPro
5 messages in this thread
This question has come up a lot. Here are the resources I am aware of:
old resource (1991): AutoCAD 3D Design and Presentation / Bousquet & Hester
New Riders Publishing / 800-428-5331 or 800-448-3804 (fax)
This book primarily targets AutoCAD, 3D Studio, Renderman (yes, it's 4
years old… <sigh>… i feel so old>, AutoFlix (for a bit of Nostalgia
even then) and Animator Pro. Only about 30 pages on it when used in flic
postproduction (an important use still).
classroom vtape resource: Autodesk Animator Pro / Paul Karius
K Street Systems / 303-296-1211 or 303-296-6873 (fax)
These video tapes basically do what the AniPro Tutorial manuals only live..
they cover basic animation principles, tools, inks, palettes, all 5
animation types and editing.
interactive resource (1994): Animator Pro Techniques / Mark McGraw (ANI1)
NAAUG Telecourse Program (free) / 415-507-6565
interactive resource (1995): Animator PowerUser / Mark McGraw (ANI2)
NAAUG Telecourse Program (free) / 415-507-6565
interactice resource (1995): Introduction to POCO / Jerry Winston (ANI3)
NAAUG Telecourse Program (free) / 415-507-6565
interactive resource (1995): Using 3DS w/ AniPro / Tammy Carpenter (3DS3)
NAAUG Telecourse Program (free) / 415-507-6565
The North American Autodesk User Group offers telecourses for free, hoping
that if you find them beneficial, you will support their continuation by'
joining their organization for $35/yr. For full details on all telecourses,
download file NTP03A.ZIP from ACAD forum Library 14.
— of course, CIS AMMEDIA/Section 4 ain't too bad either. <ggg> Hope this
helps.

i had an offer this year to write a book on Animator Pro techniques (as you can
see there really isn't much out there), but told the publisher i wasn't sure
how long AniPro would continue to be supported. To my knowledge, as long as 3DS
remains on DOS platform, Ani would ve invaluable. -dave

We agree. Even though Animator Studio is being released, we have no plans at
this time to stop selling Animator Pro.
