Andy,
Thank you for your answer. I was pleased when I read that someone is
doing the same thing that I want to do. Ouch!, draw the 2d animation,
scan and clean and paint it, is a hard and long process (ok, 2D
classic animation is a hard and long process too), but you can save
steps with Animator Pro and a Wacom pressure sensitive tablet. I'm
planning to use this. First, make the 3D Truecolor background
Animation in 3D Studio and save it to disk. Then gray out the
background and take it to APRO. Wonderfull, a gray highresolution
animation and 240 (aproximate) colors to play (for each character).
You can save now each character animation separately, ready to be
plugged in the main truecolor animation and render the final
animation to tape…if you find the software to do it (I know, 3DSr2
CAN but I want a low cost program -for now-).

Ana I cannot give you a full answer without trying it all out but it
is possible that PICLAB could help you. It is a Shareware program, I
found it on that amazing "Hot-Stuff" CD but it is probably on several
Forum libraries. It would have to be batch file driven but it will
allow dissimilar file formats to be rescaled, overlaid or combined
and resaved. At least that is my reading of the docs and anyway it
won't cost much to try it out. – Grahame
Ana After my first reply I tried PICLAB it will do the job but not
seamlessly :-(. However Gary read your message more carefully than I
did, see his suggestion elswhere. Also how are you laying to tape,
remember "video post" is for people with no access to -complex- video
overlay functions. Your needs are very straight-forward and should
not add too much to the bill at tape laying time.
