Hey. Does anyone here make animations? I do. I use a program called pivot to make animations. We even made a page in youtube. (Note much luck though)
 
I hate pivot, just saying. Useless.
IMO even if you're making stick figures, flash or gif would do better.

LOL... I wish I could do flash! I'm still a beginner at animating stuff so maybe when I get better in making stick animations, maybe I can proceed to making flash or gif. :D


why don't you try Gimp? -and make .gif animations... It's fast 'n' easy

true.. true

epic randomness! XD
 
I use Poser Pro 2010, its awesome, i have a channel on youtube but its of adult content so be warned. No nudity but very risky.
I set out doing animations hoping to get work but serious attempts saw no interest, so i spiced them up a little and what do you know, i got some interest and some work lol
Well take a look if you have time, Poser has a steep learning curve but has brilliant rewards ;)

Remember , not for kids !!!!

I use Animator (Anim8tor)...But it can be a bit tough to use at first.

Good free stuff though.

woah! I should have checked that more carefully! But anyways, They're pretty awesome! Maybe if I master Pivot, I might do some harder and more complicated animation using maybe flash.?? I have a long way to go! XD
 
Hm... Blender? Never heard of it... what's it like?

Blender is wonderful! It's just as good as 3D Studio Max - though they both work in completely different ways so it's a hard compare (Well, there are some similarities come to think of it).

Blender is an open-source application, so it's 100% free. And it's professional.

I personally use Blender for all my animations in 3D (for .gif, I'm a sucker for GIMP, too ;) ). Although I have a 64 bit OS, and 64-bit Blender is a bit wacky and cannot calculate algorithms correctly. Or maybe that's just me... hm... Anyway, it's not very demanding for a 3D-animation software (can run on laptops with some movement-lag), and if you're interested - feel free to watch some Blender-made movies on YouTube! Like "Elephant's Dream" or "Big Buck Bunny".

Oh, I forgot to mention that Blender has a built-in game physics engine (more or less) - thus it's 100% possible to make games with blender, just as easy. The game "Yo, Frankie" is made in Blender. However Blender will require a lot of practice, possibly even years of practice (used it for 5 years now, still cannot perform advanced stuff :( ).
