Hello everyone.

This is my first animation using Anime. I purchased it for this type of animation and it works perfect for what I require. It's so straightforward that I only needed to check the manual a few times. It's really a great program. I plan on doing more complex animations of this nature soon.

Beautiful scenic background, but I think it's stretching a point to call this "animation". More than one or two subtle water effects are needed to qualify, in my humble opinion. It's moving wallpaper. Exquisitely done.

jahnocli, if you look ever so closely, I did "animate" the pine tree in the bottom right corner to sway in the breeze and there are 3 waterfalls, not 2. Does 4 subtle effects (1 pine tree, "3" waterfalls) now qualify it to be an true animation?

Not being an artist this is the first animation I have ever attempted and just wanted to say how well I like AS working with 2D in 3D space. I plan on adding more animated elements to future animations...I mean moving wallpapers.

Very nicely done. Inspires me to try something using similar techniques.

Software is just a tool. There are countless ways to employ it depending on the needs, interests, and ingenuity of the user. I have a long-standing commitment to try to avoid preconceptions in every aspect of life - especially in creative matters. I do not really care if your piece is called an "animation" or "moving wallpaper." It is beautiful, provides a very pleasant experience for the viewer, and definitely demonstrates yet another way Anime Studio can be effectively used.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.
