TVPaint Traditional Animation Software

[artmessiah]

This probably major spam :spam:, but it's should interest someone. I've been playing around with this new software for a couple weeks now and have really grown to like it. It's called TVpaint animation. I've used it pretty much for illustration, but it can create professional animation and fx. So to anyone wanting the tools similar to painter or photoshop and have a urge to create traditional animation without vector based software, I highly recommend this program. Check it out here

I included a screen shot as well. Take care

I use Aura which is more or less the same, I like it much better than I like vector animation. It's hard to find a very efficient work pipeline but possible, we made whole games entirely with photoshop and Aura.

Hello my brudda, Mirage user here so again, pretty much the same thing.

Cool. I know Mirage is very similar, but from what I gather TVP has better custom brush options among other things - you should look into it - or not :)

Wow. Didn't know you could make games with Aura - must look into that ;)

artmessiah: I used to do 2D edutainment and we handled all animation with Aura, it was then exported to tiff with transparency and transformed to a proprietary format to work in the game engine.

Not so messy - I open all the panels at once to show them - well maybe not all of them, but most. ;)
