It's too bad that the 2D vector animation app, Moho, lost its Linux support when it got turned into Anime Studio last year. Rumors abound that a Linux version of Anime Studio Pro will be available at some point, but has yet to be forthcoming. We really need something like Mirage from Bauhaus Software on Linux... the closest we have is the Gimp Animation Plugin, and it pales in comparison to what Mirage is capable of doing. And Bauhaus has stated they will not be releasing a Linux version. -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi ------=_Part_18878_24758959.1175710242607 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline On 4/3/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Sean Novak</b> <<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>> wrote:<div><span class="gmail_quote"></span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> For one, I know that Linux will make the production of your shows cheaper.
