Creating Children's Story Animations Using Inkscape and Animatron
- rayalez 11y agoTo anyone interested in doing 2D animation on linux, I highly recommend TVPaint. It's an incredibly awesome software, the best one available on any platform, and they have a linux version. It is not free/open source, but if you are doing animation it shouldn't matter, you should be choosing the best software available, because animation is expensive and takes a lot of effort, so a superior tool pays for itself very quickly.
- leppr 11y agoI've heard great things about that software too but the price is quite prohibitive for an amateur unfortunately.
- MichaelGG 11y agoAnd their homepage has a link to a Dongle issues FAQ. Which contains this line: "Sending another dongle means sending a new free license. We have no way of differentiating unlucky people from dishonest ones." ... Except they can. Dishonest ones would just type "tvpaint" into a search engine and download it, not go through the hassle of buying a license in the first place and pretending to lose a dongle. They even list this as their second selling feature on the freelance artists page. I don't get it :\. The software looks really cool though.
- briandear 11y agoThe thought experiment is already possible. However many people that are on the bottom rungs lack motivation to take advantage of these kinds of programs. Many poor and unemployed already have computers but choose to spend their time on Facebook instead of potentially learning to code. Nice thought, but the implementation ignores the fact that many people would rather spend their time watching Judge Judy.
- lotyrin 11y agoWhy is it a win to use an open source vector graphics software if you're then going to rely on a software as a service animation suite?
