RE: [info-tech] animation software
How intensive do you want to get? If you are trying to string together gifs, that is one thing. If you want basic easy to use flash animation you could look into swish http://www.swishzone.com/index.php?area=home From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad Kruse Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 11:51 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: [info-tech] animation software I have a couple of students that want to work with animation (mostly web).

RE: [info-tech] animation software
Title: Message 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/TeachingAnimationUsingOpenSourceTools if you're interested. I guess I always check out the open source stuff first before purchasing js -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad KruseSent: Friday, January 13, 2006 11:51 AMTo: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.usSubject: [info-tech] animation software I have a couple of students that want to work with animation (mostly web).

Re: [info-tech] animation software
I would use Flash Adobe also has Live Motion There are also some very simple products from Tech4Learning. They were at ITEC and I got a sample of their imagination suite. But these are just my humble opinions. I am sure there are other out there. On Jan 13, 2006, at 11:50 AM, Brad Kruse wrote: I have a couple of students that want to work with animation (mostly web).
