What's "Anime Studio Pro," Bellsouth?

Oh, i just got it this weekend, it's like Flash but completely built towards animation and anime-style projects. I'm planning on fiddle around with it to see if that's something i could do (i don't get along all that well with Flash, and this is WAY lighter) and it has native 3d support

Here, some examples from amateur to pro

A bunch of test animations (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfNxvtFhcSA&NR=1)

Most basic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3Q-6M-UM0w)

Pro Quality (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCQIG2vJPpQ&NR=1)

Full Pro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjmMuMhRvFo)

Anyway, here's mine shrunk down so as not to destroy your inferior resolutions.

I'm dirt poor and got my CRT from a dumpster (not exaggerating.) Why do you think most of my programs are open source?

Although my video card can get up to 2048 x 1536. Of course, that would make The Coon's shadow on my desktop the entire size of my screen.

[bluestarultor]

Question. What file formats does it save in? I might be interested in it if it has any amount of support, since I'd like to learn Flash.

[Bells]

Question. What file formats does it save in? I might be interested in it if it has any amount of support, since I'd like to learn Flash.

It saves as .anme but it exports to .AVI and . SWF, it also imports to Static vector graphics (JPG, PNG, GIF and such...) it dubs as a minor Vector drawing tool. But it supports Layering, and it's heavily funded on Bone and Deform structures, so knowledge from it could probably cross over to flash and vice versa...

Yeah but I can never find anything in it.

I'm -ALWAYS- working on projects at home, and I like having things in easy reach. Each of those folders has about 20 things in them each, excluding game build folders.

And each of those folders has 1 folder in them, that has about 20 things in them. Three layers each.

Edit: And unlike some people, I can totally get away with that cause I have the space on my desktop.

It's from the PC version of GGXX #Reload, which I had for a while. It had an online play hack which was kind of bad the last time I used it.

I hope you are delighted by the fact that I tidied it up before I screencapped it, though I only deleted duplicate icons and random files... And rearranged them a bit in order to not obstruct them important details on my desktop.
(I actually felt tempted of posting an assortment of text files I had in the Download folder I totally forgot I had, yeah, the Winnie the pooh fan fiction for example.)

No I don't use songbird it sucks.
Also, WHAT THE FUCK is iTunes doing there? Quicktime. I forgot I have those. I hate them. If you use iTunes you should be ashamed of yourself. Use Songbird. It's also bad, but it's not iTunes. I could go on rambling about how bad iTunes is but I already made a blog post about that somewhere, so I wont... at least not more than I already did)
I also don't play F.E.A.R., Facade or Diablo II. They're just the only games I have installed right now.

I stumbled across the background pic in some random Fanart thread and liked it so much I used it for my desktop.

And:

It's supposed to be Schala during one of her visits to the earthbound ones. But 90% of the people who see it think it's Magus so... it can be whomever you want it to be I guess.


And geez guys, I didn't know it would be that popular. XD I just made it because I wanted a Zeal background for my computer and couldn't find any that I wanted. :whee:

[Fifthfiend]

And if I opened the wound then yaaay.

It's supposed to be Schala during one of her visits to the earthbound ones. But 90% of the people who see it think it's Magus so... it can be whomever you want it to be I guess.

I think it's pretty much that if you imagine person there as tall, you think he is Magus and if smaller character, she's Schala. Or that's how I see it.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

I'm not using it as my background. But I saved it to the same folder my Background pic along with some other awesome fanart is stored.

EDIT: It's rather obvious that it's Schala to me.
That doesn't seem to be Magus' Hair.
I dunno how I reached that conclusion, though.

[russianreversal]

It looks a lot like a level from UT3 but damn it looks too pretty for that. I like it. HAWK, we have more guesses! (I was gonna say that, too :() While it doesn't match the scheme of any UT3 levels I've seen, the acid is pretty much the same.

[CelesJessa]

Yeah you'd think that custom Chrono Trigger artwork in convenient desktop size would be a pretty hard sell around here.

Yeaah, well, I dunno. I didn't know if it was cool enough. It kind of different from what normally use as my backgrounds, since I like dark pictures. XD


EDIT: It's rather obvious that it's Schala to me.

It's because it's curly. And I tried to make it look like it was up in a ponytail but failed. XD

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Walkthrough:

Once you have Yuffie back, travel south until you can't see land in any direction. Once you've done that, eject or otherwise turn off the game, and play something better. Like Pong.

Yeah, I found it on a map, and it's on the complete other side of the planet from where I assumed I was supposed to go next, which was the only new place I could find after getting the stupid shitty seaplane.

Turns out that you can't take the plane anywhere near the temple, which defeats the purpose of having the fucking thing to begin with! On top of that, my car is on the wrong continent, so apparently they decided to give me all these vehicles and then expect me to trek across the whole damn world on my own legs like a sucker!

Well, fuck you, Final Fantasy VII! At this point in the last game, I already had an airship! With blackjack and hookers!

Best. Airship. EVER.

Setzer knew how to LIVE, man.

Edit: Also, since you're right around that bit in the game, am I the only one who finds Cid's relationship with Shera a bit disturbing? I mean, it's not so much that I take issue with showing the battered housewife thing in a game, but the writers seemed to honestly think that Cid caring deep down made all the mental abuse okay.

You know you can take the Buggy across the sea using the ship for a bit of Gil, right? Just drive it into Junon or Costa del Sol.

Aside from that, there's very little on the map that CAN'T be accessed using the Tiny Bronco, if you're persistent enough. Unless it's underwater, up a waterfall, or not part of a main continent, it's pretty much at your disposal, so long as it has a beach or other accessible shoreline (like a fjord for the Buggy).

Hey, so I'm kinda new here ( second post ) But I'm a fan of 8 bit, warbots...Ok and here's my desktop. I used to use lite step, but that shit doesn't run so well on Vista. SO I customized it, as vista is one of the Ugliest OS's that exist.

Sorry for the quality issue.

I fully approve of your choice in music player.

EDIT: Nik, while I love that picture, how the hell can you use that as a wallpaper? It's so chaotic.

Double EDIT: So my bosses decided that wallpaper of anything other than the company logo, etc. = dissent (which is particularly galling as it's my iMac), so I'm gonna move CJ's wallpaper to my Gateway and try to create a better company wallpaper than theirs. This may be the most productive I've been since the day I discovered Pibb and Barq's combined is probably the best carbonated concoction on the face of the earth.

[Nikose Tyris]

So I changed my wallpaper and I didn't want to resize it for you all, so I made a quick link for the new one I've done up. Took me a solid 25 minutes of cutting peices from a PDF, lining them up and getting them to fit, but here it is in 1680x1050 glory!
Tada! (http://parkercomics.com/wallpaper%20version.png)

Haha that sucks, but it sounds kinda fun too. And I'll try Pibb and Barq's now haha.

He's right though, theres so much going on I might get a seizure trying to use my desktop with a wallpaper like that haha, it's cool though.

I think you fail to understand how chaotic my desktop normally is.

Here. (http://parkercomics.com/screenshot.png) I didn't resize it, and that's how things look when I DO clean up.

haha I'm new here, so it's not like I know ya. :o

Anyway icons...do things, so they bother me significantly less than a wallpaper that has more going on than a desktop filled completely with useless/never used icons. Just my preference haha.

[russianreversal]

Ah the kitty. I remember that. Good times.

EDIT: So after less than 10 minutes in illustrator I have a workable desktop that's better than the one they use:

But I feel something's missing. it's too simple, and I don't know what to add that keeps it professional looking. Suggestions would be much appreciated.

(Trivia: You'll notice the WoW and Starcraft files are gone? I actually just hid them underneath the speech recognizer.)

[Enkidu]

Haha thats cool, that rule doesn't make any sense though. o.o

If you can't tell, purple's my favorite color. And yes, I did alphabetize my shortcuts.
