#Composite Studio
5 messages in this thread
I need an opinion on Composite Studio and/or Auto Paint for the Toaster. How
effective is it? Is quality good? Ease of interface? Anyone who has used either
of these products opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I recently acquired Composite Studio "and it's GREAT!". It really saves time
and provides a really nice assortment of ready made templates which you can
customize and store additionally for later use. Think of it as a remote
control for toaster paint. Greg-Lesko & Associates Video.
I use Composite Studio and it is quirky but good. It really shines when
teamed up with PRO FILLS as a texture generator. It has templates which
are useable but yours will be better. It comes with a hundred 24 bit
brushes which helps. Although better than Auto Paint, you will still find
yourself wondering what happened to elements on the design screen. A
learning curve that is similar to learning to always set a keyframe in
lightwave is its biggest weakness, coupled with a less than descriptive
graphic screen to compose on. Still, it teaches ol' DOGPAINT a few tricks
it should have learned long ago.

Joe, I agree with you on CS with a few exceptions…
Wish I could select more than one object at a time to move
Wish I could draw more primitives and had the capability to rotate on angle
Wish in the layering of objects I could step them back and forth levels at a
time
Wish just because I clicked on an object and didn't save the element it would
not disappear
I think if it had those and probably a few other items I am forgetting it would
be an even better package than it is. I have to remember it is only ver 1.1.:-)
I have also found using Corel or Freelance to make graphic charts is much
easier than any Amiga product I own.

As of late I have made a zillion screens using lightwave rendering out
glass crystal screens with dimensional letters and converted them to PCX
and BMP files. Try that with Corel. Although I fear the next version of
Composite Studio with your wish list will probably be for the PC than for
the Amiga. All the developers I know have already jumped ship. GLUB. I
fear the FLYER will be the final Flag on the good ship Commodore as it
sinks into the ocean.
