So you're not limited to using ASP for drawing, you can use other programs to get very different looks. The imports are sometimes rigged and deformed directly and sometimes used as fill textures for vectors. I also often use images imported from other programs, generally Photoshop. In the latter case, I typically process the shapes using one of the two point reduction commands, or manually 'erasing' points using the Delete Edge brush in Points mode. These tools are generally the preferred tool for Frame By Frame animation where you're typically not going to be deforming the drawing, but sometimes I'll use the freehand tools for drawing complex shapes for bones animation too. The pay-off is that the resulting shapes are highly optimized for proper bones deformations and animation.Īlternatively, ASP 11 has some nice freehand tools too, but there is less control over the point placement and optimization.

But personally, I prefer the workflow in ASP and tend to do a large portion of my work with it these days.ĭrawing in ASP with the 'click and drag' method isn't really that difficult, although admittedly it can be tedious for complex shapes. Each program has it's strengths and weaknesses, and I often use a combination of these three programs.

I use Anime Studio, Harmony and After Effects at my workplace for TV animation. Good luck, anyway, whichever way you jump!

But that's not what it was designed for.įor me, it boils down to two approaches seeing these quirks as problems, so you have to suck it up if you want to use the software - or embracing the software's capabilities, and using them as part of a problem-solving skillset. I still feel uncomfortable using AS to sketch out any preparatory drawing, or use it for freehand drawing of any kind. I remember the reservations I had about using Anime Studio many years ago (when it was called Moho). So, despite its quirks, I salute the developers and backers of this software, because there's nothing else out there with this range of features for the price. And it turns out that it can offer almost everything I'm interested in apart from interactivity. Secondly, as an individual hobbyist user (I'm guessing you are the same?), I worry a lot less about workflow and a lot more about what the software can do.

So you could buy an old copy of AS Pro on eBay, and use it for practice, while you keep your eyes open for a discount 'window', if you are worried about costs. I got my copy of Anime Studio Pro 11 for $99, which I consider to be an absolute bargain.

Firstly, although the full price of AS Pro is around $300, there are several times in a year when it is offered at a discount price for a few days.

Well, you raise a lot of questions there. How do you guys cope with anime studios workflow? Or is it just me having problems with it? Using Anime Studio feels like I'm using a free animation tool in its beta phase with the exception that it costs 300$ and I'm really not fond of that. My problem is I really don't like using anime studio but I pretty much have no other option and can only hope that it will get better with updates. Toon Boom would become an enormous ammount that is pretty much too hefty to pay for startups. It is cheap(ish) with 300$ but I could get Animate for 15 to 20$ a month which I personally dislike though.

Anime Studio has some great animation tools but the workflow is bad, it's not intuitive, there are too many excptions/hurdles that make working with anime studio clunky. Toon Boom is comfortable to use has good tools but is way too expensive. In my opinion: Animate has a good price is comfortable to use but has very outdated tools. I've tested many different animation softwares but pretty much only Toon Boom, Flash/Animate and Anime Studio are worth mentioning.
