Re: How to show light ray effect - Project Dogwaffle

If you're looking for a simple and cost-effective traditional 2D
animation system, perhaps even the freeware version, check Project
Dogwaffle (assuming you're on Windows).  Actually even on Mac, with
Parallels (assuming a MacIntel and a Windows install CD). I just ran
it on a MacBook Pro and it screams.

Anyway, drawing frame-by-frame, or with animations loaded in a brush
to paint over another animation or video clip  or even to do filters
across a frame sequence, with keyframes to change the parameters... PD
can do that. There are several versions, some freeware 1.2 version, a
$39 PD Artist (PD Particles doesn't have animation), a $59 PD 2.1,
then $97 PD Pro 3.5 and the latest $119 PD Pro 4. The usual upgrade
paths and promos for the justreleased v4 too. Look for it at
www.thebest3d.com

Not sure however if you're looking for something like this where you
draw frame by frame, - did you instead mean to have 'objects' in the
scene that you reposition over time and change shapes etc? That would
be great with MoHo, now called Anime Studio (from Lost Marble,
published by e-Frontier).
