I want to know about the ultimative animation-forum...RIGHT NOW!

[Fozzybar]

I am seeking for an animation-forum for so long now, but i never found something i liked...

The posted animations should be high quality like on animationexpress...

Does somebody know any?

[fletchgirl]

have you tried cg talk? haven't looked at it much, it's been around for a while i think... they have 2d and 3d...

[Fozzybar]

thx, fletchgirl! This is interesting, though they actually care about 3d-animation only as far as i saw...did you read my pm btw?

[fletchgirl]

yeah, i know they're very 3d... but they have a 2d section, i found out about it from 2d people. yeah! i just got it, i'll post something soon... haha, I reset my prefs so i get e-mails now when i get a pm. i didn't before... :)

[Fozzybar]

The best setting is to get notyfied by a popup-window, when receiving a pm...

[fletchgirl]

I do!!! i guess it doesn't work or something.... :confused:

[fletchgirl]

Hey fozzy, did you try AWN.com?

[Fozzybar]

Yes, i did...i think my wishes are too special for the animation forum...i work with flash and the forum should have mainly flash animations on it...

I can't remember, but as far as i know the level of the animations on this board was too low...

thx anyway

[fletchgirl]

hmmm... yeah, i can see that being a problem.. there's not a lot of really good flash out there anyway... at least, i haven't seen enough to make this penultimate forum you're looking for... correct me if i'm wrong... if you find it let me know. i'll keep looking.

Not the ultimate animations forum.. but I saw this site on CG Talk a week or two ago and loved it. Thought I'd share:

http://www.neostream.com/

So, what are you doing with Flash Fozzy? I am really curious to know because I love Flash and work with it a lot. Always interested in seeing more things done in FLash.

Some Flash forums I've seen are:

http://webforums.macromedia.com/flash/ (macromedia's own boards)
http://www.flashmove.com/board/

Well, my wife is on me to get moving so I gotta go before I can list some more links. I also always liked www.flashkit.com but I don't know how great their forums are... only used it once or twice with scripting ?'s

Does te uploadin take long for this stuff, I never had the time to look

[Fozzybar]

thx fletchgirl and oglzogl...i sent you a pm oglzoglz...

[oglzogl]

Thanks Fozzy, right back at ya.

KayCustomz, the uploading (or, do you mean downloading) of a Flash movie can be very well compressed and take almost no time at all. Of course, you can also really bog down a file with video and audio that will take forever to download. It really just depends on how it is handled. Sometimes Flash may not run as smoothly on older processors as well as new ones.. I guess I'd say that, if it is handled correctly, Flash can be a great way to animate and present multimedia on the web.
