I like where you are going with this and
you have a nice expressive drawing style

i use a flair II, a cheapo tablet, and it works fine

nice little animation

I particularly liked the soundtrack
kind of retarded doo-wop

i just looked at xara, and it seems to be a user
friendly vector program at
a good price

I had the same questions
I wonder what the answers are?

An easy question for someone:

When I have an action cycle on the timeline,
how do I stop the cycling somewhere down
on the timeline?

I see now why they give it away. Actually, I just bought an
Nvidia card, a 7100 gs. I will see if I can make this program
run

I haven't used it but it was free!

I never had heard of animation master and went over to check it out.
It seems to be something I would like to learn. Does it generate
decent animations? Seems so.

Well, all I know is when I popped the card in it really improved the rendering rate by about 10x. It says it has 256 mb on board and 512 "supporting" so maybe it just uses the memory in some clever way. It also taps into windows x architecture, so who knows what it does -- but it is faster...

I use IFANview to change to different formats.
I use it to change my gif files into png
for the alpha channels.

It is freeware

hey i just bought a modest graphic card for $50
geforce 7100 gs.


I only mention this because it really beefed up the
rendering process in AS. It used to take a while to
print just 10 seconds, but now it is much faster.

I am sure everyone knows this but I am the Studio Forum Idiot

I had the same problem, trying to create transparencies. I use Painter for drawing and I found that by drawing and painting my image, selecting it with the selection tool, copying it and pasting it back again, this creates the info you need. Then you save it as png. My painter 7 doesn't have png, so...
