toon boom software

Here is a link to the toonboom software that Andrew was talking about in class last week as a professional 2d animation alternative better than flash.

I have been thinking about it for awhile. It has been used on some interesting animations including the Triplets of Bellville.

There is a demo copy to download with lots of tutorials. It works well with a wacom. A lot of the people who started with flash when it first came out a switching to it - I am not sure how much is product endorsement related but some of them seem quite genuine with a few Australians including:

and Eddie Mort and Lili Chin:

So for 2d animation I am seriously thinking about it, though not rushing in to pay the money.

There is a new version of Animate coming out. But Animate Pro looks the business.
