Good (Free) Animation Programs?
« on: February 03, 2008, 02:10:11 PM »
Are there any good programs I can download anywhere that are somewhat like Flash? I'm a cheap bastard and I don't feel like paying for something I can use at school.

Silverlight is Microsoft's Flash, basically.

Gimp does not do flash, but it does do .gif animation. :D

And just buy the new CS3 set from Adobe, its worth your money, and it comes with Flash, which is totally awesome!!!

Don't buy it. Get it another way like I do.

Why are you so insistent on piracy?

As good as it is, Photoshop isn't worth $700.

Why buy something when you can get away with stealing it ;)

It'll all work itself out once you begin to realize that the stuff you're stealing isn't even worth the bandwidth you're using because small/big dev shops alike can't afford to dedicate more R&D/Testing/Etc. into their products and just release the same crap with the a different number just to squeeze money out of people that actually pay for software.  I guess you're like Robin Hood, right?

There was more sarcasm in my response then actual feelings.  I would like to torrent things but I have wifi and it is slower then crap and I have never really understood how to do somethings when it comes to torrents...
