Good Animation Software

Thunderfm · 01-11-2005, 09:15 PM

Does anyone know of any simple, yet really good 2d animation software. I want to do stuff like the xiao xiao animations but cant work with flash.

Anyone got any ideas?

If it works with keyframes instead of frame by frame it would be better

Cheers

That's my thread about my stick man animations I made, it's got the link there to a program I use called Pivot, it is frame by frame but it's the only one I know of.

Ive used that one before, its a bit too fiddly for me. but you can do some good stuff on it. Im loving some of the creations in your thread.

Cheers

Any other suggestions that you hear of will be much appreciated if u find something a little while from now.

Cheers

Adobe Image Ready is the best .gif maker

Yeah it's pretty good but for stick figures the pivot program is excellent, pre-made people and other things plus movable points on them. For basic stickman animations it would be fine.

It depends on your needs i guess. I have had ImageReady forever, i'm just used to it.

Yeah good point, stick with what you know unless you're confident enough to use something else.
