Animator Studio Tips
2 messages in this thread
Dave,
Was planning on drawing cartoon but am very interested in your suggestion that
clip art could be adapted.
This is probably a dumb question but how would I acquire the animated images to
work with? Like a horse and cart (Budweiser or other)? I think I get the clone
ink part and all.
Thanks,
Barry

not a dumb question at all, Barry, and please, anytime you have any question
whether you think it's dumb or not, ask it. we all have these types of
questions from time to time, and every time, we win by asking. 🙂
i use several ways to get images into digital formats (into a file format AAS
can use). the first i ever had was a Logitech hand scanner. these
mouse-on-steroids devices basically roll across an image (magazine or whatever)
and create BMP or TGA files which can then be processed with AAS. the second i
have is an HP Scanjet… a mutant copy-machine/printer device which converts
8.5×11 type images to a file format. the third is an Intel Indeo Smart Recorder
which turns your VCR or VHS camera into a still image or movie scanner. in all
cases, you'll want to have plenty of free harddisk space to save the images or
animations.
