Autodesk Animator Studio
The last software project I worked on was Autodesk's
24-bit Windows animation and paint program, Animator Studio.
Some random tidbits about that:
-
Here's a review
from Infoworld.
-
I used it to do all the cropping, resizing, and file conversion for the
pictures on these pages.
-
It works. People are generally using it. Some people are very unhappy with
it.
-
I feel basically very good about the whole endeavor, because I haven't
had a lot of experience in finishing projects and shipping products. Why
not? Well, that story is told elsewhere.
If you want to see what Animator Studio can do, here's
an animation that a couple of other guys on the team did with it, using
just a hand-held video camera and some off-the-shelf frame grabbing hardware
to digitize the video. Warning: the Windows AVI file is over five megabytes
long; it took me about 30 minutes to upload with a 28.8K modem. Start downloading
it, go out for coffee or something, and enjoy when you get back. Oh yes:
"roshambo" is phonetic French for "rock-scissors-paper."
