Re: ASP 9 announced
This is promising news. I can't help but be a little excited about this new version because it will represent and become my first experience with animation. Even though this is my "debut" with the art of animation, I will be aiming for the Pro versionacid breakdown wrote:The Webinar is the 12th of September showing what's new in ASPro9 so I presume the release is after that?
Re: ASP 9 announced
That's great! You might want to download and start with the current version first, though, as there is a ton of tutorials for version 8, and there won't be quite so many for version 9 for a while. The basic principles will be the same in both, but it means you can start now instead of waiting!ThatsNotAllFolks wrote:I can't help but be a little excited about this new version because it will represent and become my first experience with animation.

ASP9 Webinar, 12th of September.. Marked in the calendar!
Re: ASP 9 announced
I am so happy to see the ability to slide keys past each other. OMG that is going to make such a difference.
Looks like some really useful useability changes made it into the release. Yay !!!
My only negative comment would be the policy SMith Micro has of keeping on charging us existing customers. OK I've had the use of it for all these years and I'm glad its getting easier to use but I would feel better if they would just stop charging me...
Oh yeah - and which of the extra tools we have been using - are no longer needed as their functionality isnow replaced in AS9 ??

Re: ASP 9 announced
Everything sounds great!!! I am very excited and looking forward to diving into the world of animation using Anime Studio Pro 9 as my scuba gear. I have heard and read nothing but good things about Anime Studio animation software and I am sure it will undoubtedly feed and further enable my creativity. Congratulations on the new Anime Studio version 9 to all that use and enjoy it like I know I will.

Re: ASP 9 announced
I agree. I've paid full upgrades for every version since 5.6. I figure that's a modest investment to ensure future development of AS.acid breakdown wrote:Especially went it's quite clear that the developers have really put a lot of effort into pleasing loyal AS users in this release....just pay for it and stop being so tight!
Nothing wrong with enthusiasm, but be realistic. No software is perfect and if you spend time reading this forum you'll find out quick there are issues to be aware of. As JaMike alluded to, AS has a steepish learning curve so take your time and do the included tutorials. Remember AS is a tool. The craft of animation involves study beyond the software. Having some drawing skill helps too.ThatsNotAllFolks wrote: I have heard and read nothing but good things about Anime Studio animation software and I am sure it will undoubtedly feed and further enable my creativity.
But, yeah, I can't wait either!

Re: ASP 9 announced
I think the previous yearly upgrade cycle without much to write home about may have been a little hard to swollow at times (seeming more like a subscription service really) but hands down this is the most important upgrade since ever... the new development path is so exciting it's important to support the developers to stay afloat so we can see everything come to full maturity. With more free point updates and a longer major version cycle I think we're really on the right path.

Re: ASP 9 announced
Sounds like a great new version. Can't wait till Monday!
The smart bones will be awesome.
There are lots of videos about version 9 on YouTube, BTW.
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL ... ature=plcp
In one of the videos, on a Windows machine, they show Papagayo running. Is Papagayo coming back (I'm on a Mac with 10.8 and it doesn't work)? I use AS to make model conversations for teaching English. While it is good now and works OK, I want to really improve lip sync without spending hours per video.
Anybody have any idea how much the 64-bit will improve performance, specifically output?

Let's just cross our fingers for drawing tools with bezier curve editing (will import illustrator files better with fewer points) and true motion blur.
I've never been this excited before about an ASP update! Love the announced new features!
I wish they will add these features too in future.

Re: ASP 9 announced
I bought Anime Studio Pro 8 in July. Now I have to buy the new version. Well I know I can upgrade but it still makes me sad. My brand new Anime Studio Pro 8 look useless to me.
Btw they added really awesome features. Especially 64 bit support, smart bones, better timeline etc. I wish they will add these features in future and the software will be perfect.
1- Real Motion Blur( I really need this and only because of this I was about to buy another 2D software)
2- Bezier Curve Editing (For example when we draw a circle and add a point to it, it looks like really terrible now. Adding or deleting a point distorts the whole shape. Bezier curves will solve these types of issues.)
3- Undo Delete Layer (I really need this too much. Why cant we go back after deleting a layer? Really unbelievable.)
4- Transform Sphere ( I would like to move object in X,Y,Z, rotate or scale it with only a mouse. 3D softwares solved this issue long time ago. Using a tool like this would be awesome and easy: http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/20 ... hMove1.png )
5- Better 3D (With changing lights, real shadows etc)
6- Dark UI (Like Photoshop CS6, Maya, Zbrush or Poser. I dont really need this but it will be awesome if they ll redesign the UI. I have plans to create a new UI and post it on this forum soon)
p.s.: Sorry because of my bad English.

You can change the uI colours to whatever you want in Edit/Preferences.

Yes. I know but I was talking about some gradients, nice pixel perfext shadows etc on UI. Anime Studio never looks like these designs: http://dribbble.com/search?q=dark+uiAmigaMan wrote:You can change the uI colours to whatever you want in Edit/Preferences.
