Is there a good animation program for beginners?!


Question: Is there a good animation program for beginners!?
I'm looking for an easy-to-use, freeware animation program!.

I've already tried Pivot and Pencil, neither of which suit my tastes!.

It would be great if the program had an onion skin feature, and acted someone like Flash!.

Thanks!Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Depends what kind of animation you want to do, since different programs will be geared towards a different type of animation!.

Some of the better commercial 2D animation programs such as Digicel Flipbook, Toon Boom, TVPaint, TAB, and PAP, have Student or Express versions that are fairly inexpensive!. However, you might be disappointed by how crippled these stripped down programs are compared to their more expensive Pro versions!. But if you look hard enough you should be able to find them cracked online (rapidshare, bittorrent)!. There are some free alternatives!.

If you're doing old school drawn on paper frame by frame stuff or stop-motion or 2D, I'd suggest MonkeyJam!. It's free!.

If you want to do Flash animation like the stuff on Newgrounds!.com, either break down and buy Adobe Flash or you can try Creatoon which is free!. It's not Flash, but it also does symbol oriented
animation!.
