Anime Studio 11 - coming soon

Exciting news!!

Just had this pop up in my inbox. Haven't tried Anime Studio 10 but depending on how it goes I may jump to 11. Really want to work with Unity to see how well they go together.

Helpful stuff for great software.

The Sands of Amnys- Pt 1- "Thirst"

Looks like the start to an interesting series from Caturday Morning Cartoons.

Anime Studio FREE for 30 days

Anime Studio Pro 10 - 30-Day Free Trial.

Anime Studio 10 trial

Give it a try, I still need to upgrade from 9.5 but a lot of the features of 10 sound really useful.

For me specifically multiple layer editing and separate batch rendering. Although the unity import sounds interesting!

Poser Pro offer

Tempting Poser Pro offer

Poser Pro

I've used poser in the past and really liked it. Was really quick to render decent looking 3D scenes and animation. There's also loads of good Poser art on Deviant Art.

I've also used Daz studio very breifly which is now free (freemium) but wondering what the benefits of the poser premium are.... Let me know if you have any input.

Manga Studio EX 5 Comic Illustration

I use Manga Studio on my Surface Pro for my background at and concept stuff. Really love it and find it a very useful tool. Its currently on offer so thought I'd spread the word. For samples  of what can be achieved check out the Manga Studio Deviant Art group. There is alos a Surface Pro group which is worth a look as well.

Free Download - Orc Camp Background Collection

This is a collection of the background artwork for the Orc Camp. It’s mostly drawn in Manga Studio on the Surface Pro 1 tablet. All files are high res in PNG format to allow for decent zooming.

Zipped File of the Collection available here:

Download Collection

I will be getting the Anime files for the Orc body, Warboss and mouth set uploaded later this week.

Let me know if you have any comments or if you found this useful.

Many thanks

Found this really good fire flame effect from anime studio tutor. Clever combination of particles and masking. May well be using this or something similar of my own creation in my animations.

Online Game Making IDE - using Phaser

Hello,

Been a while since the last post. I've been playing with this a lot! Fairly cool online game editor with reasonable tutorials. I started just using the Phaser JS instead to learn the basic script but Mighty Editor has a lot to offer too.

Phaser:

Mighty Editor:
http://mightyfingers.com/

Basically if you want to make HTML 5 games and don't want to fork out for GameMaker Studio Pro plus the HTML export you should definitely check it out. I found easy to learn (although like everything harder to master).

Let me know what you think.

This doesn't really benefit me as I would prefer to upgrade from9.5 for cheaper but thought it might be useful knowledge for others.

Animation Tips - Camera Angles and Story Boarding

Wanted to share this page from Empire regarding camera angles. I found it really informative when thinking up the story board flow for animations.

THE 30 CAMERA SHOTS EVERY FILM FAN NEEDS TO KNOW

I story board in power point of all things. I find you can pull in resources from almost anywhere, add text, add captions etc etc. You can save as PDF which is handy or print with notes which is also good for rehashing or scripts with visual prompts.

I also found it worked really well with my surface pro as I could sketch in the frames with the stylus (super handy!).

With the Story boards I just reference the camera angles from the 30 Basics and add further detail if required. I think there is probably industry standard short hand but I just invented my own (i.e. LS for Long Shot).

Let me know if you have any story boarding tips or techniques.
