[info-tech] animation software

2006-01-13 Thread Brad Kruse


I have a couple of students that want to work with animation (mostly web).
We used to use Adobe AfterEffects years ago. I am wondering if I should just buy the newest version or should I buy Flash or both or something else. There are so many different products sold now. Thanks.

I just dl'ed Blender for my Linux box, (http://www.blender.org/cms/Home.2.0.html) 
but they also have other platforms. 

Their page 
says:Blender is the open source software for 3D modeling, 
animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback. 
Available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public 
License.

I'm thinking its kinda like 3D studio Max. I 
dunno for sure, I haven't messed with it much yet

There is also a web site called Teaching 
Animation using open source tools at http://cinepaint.bigasterisk.com/TeachingAnimationUsingOpenSourceToolsif 
you're interested.

I guess I always check out the open source 
stuff first before purchasing
