PAP Pro 4.0 is released for free:

We, the PAP developers feel it is time for us to look ahead, and explore what the next generation of PAP should look like, and how it should work. We currently have no time frames for the development work, and we're looking for partners to help us develop it. Please email us with any input you have at ideas(at)plasticanimationpaper(dot)dk.

In the meantime, we want to thank our loyal supporters and the animation community. We are therefore from today releasing our latest and greatest edition (PAP:Pro 4.0) for free. This version is for Windows only, and will not require any registration or purchase. You are free to use it on as many PCs as you want, for anything you want (home, school, professional). We offer this release with no support except for what you can find in the old website. New users make sure to check out our tutorials.

Happy animating! Enjoy.

Our sincerest thanks,
Jakob and Niels, the PAP developers

12 Lessons for users of Plastic Animation Paper 4.0

These tutorials will take you through the workings of Plastic Animation Paper (PAP) by practical examples. Basic knowledge of animation in general is assumed. This text is split up into lessons, which must be completed one at a time. If you are already familiar with the interface and basics of PAP you may skip ahead to Lesson 2 or Lesson 3. But be warned about skipping ahead - even very experienced PAP animators may miss some nifty little trick they didn't know of! (Well, maybe not in the first lesson!)

All lessons have been rewritten for PAP 4.0 (PAP:Home & PAP:Pro).

Thanks for this, although it has already been announced before and should really be posted in 'Other Software' section :)

If you own a table and want a good program to draw with but don't want to spend the $$$ than this is a no brainer! OTOH, Autodesk, Corel, and ToonBoom all have nice dedicated software for drawing with your table and they would love to sell it to you.

Did they find someone to help them develop their ideas further?

I haven't a clue but from what I see the website hasn't changed a bit. I would say they released it public and moved on to something else.

Still a very good program for drawing with a table if you don't want to spend a lot of money. If you don't care then there are plenty of them out there to take a few hundred off your hands.

(which I'm very happy with, btw)

PAP is the best free alternative to TVPaint :)
