Thread: Animation software

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone here has a recommendation regarding a good professional animation software, a 2d one will do (no need for 3d). If you experienced a software like this one, please write some ad/disadvantages

Flash for 2d.

Blender for 3D because it is free and fabulous.

if I can put a link here I will suggest you google sketchup for 3D.

Yes If you want a very professional one try Maya. Its very advanced. But google sketch up easy simple and easy to use. I never tried flash so have no idea about it!

I heard about Maya that it's very very good. I've also heard that it's mainly for 3d.

Maya is pro but expensive. It will definately set you back a bit. I wasnt lying about Blender being fabulous. It can match the output of Maya on most levels.

Ya its basically for 3D, clay modelling etc. But 2D is also possible with that..

Yep, all of the SouthPark episodes were made using Maya and thats all relativly 2D.

Hi,
Actually I'm looking for a UB 3D animation software too that can integrate into Flash when I'm finished.
Anyone have a suggestion please.

Agama i think its called. It might not be what yer looking for i dunno.

I am seeing here lots of reply to particular software but not I like very much those.

I think self search will help you very well

Hi..
My campus use this software called Toon Boom and Flash for 2D.
It depends on what kind of animation you want to do. If you wanna do a real 2D animation like those we always watch (Tom and Jerry, and those Disney 2D cartoons), it is better to use Toon Boom rather than Flash. But if you are doing just a simple animation, Flash is good enough.

Great thread! Because a girl like me needs some help on this!! I just need a heart to spin on my "landing page".

I know I've seen this all over Myspace! hahahahah
Even if i could get a little sparkling "glittered" light to float across the screen around there heart.

Let me try out Toon Boom and Flash!

If you just need it for 2D, why not just use Flash?

I would suggest Flash, not too difficult to learn with a bit of reading and tutorials, at least for animation, there is a 30 day free trial over at macromedia(.)com
