I've been using fire alpaca for the past few years and it's alright but if i want to work in animation i should probably take steps towards getting an actual program.

Feel free to PM the mods if you are unsure. Describe in your post how your question relates to animation as a career if it's not obvious, as we remove threads that are off-topic. There can be exceptions if there's a clear explanation on how it helps other people get into the industry. Link to classes, tutorials, training programs, contests, objects for sale, etc. This includes sharing your Youtube channel. Post animations for the sake of sharing or to get general feedback that is not clearly related to your career. OBS: Include estimated budget if it's a freelance/hobby project, or the post will be removed. Post your portfolio for feedback (that includes demoreel, CV, website). Post questions and discussions about animation as a career, and what it means to be an animator.ĭirect your questions about how to animate or create art assets to other more suitable subreddits (they may be removed if deemed way too off-topic). But you are right in that the other versions are out there as well, making the decision to purchase that much easier.Looking for a career in animation? Confused about how to get into the industry? You've come to the right place! RULES Obviously if I had a choice and money was no issue I would stick with Harmony 12 Premium (I build cut out rigs anyway). But Flash isn't terrible in terms of producing smaller animations if one has it available and that's what they like to use. I've already vouched for ToonBoom down the thread. It's not a concern of mine whether you're 'paid by Toonboom' to say anything for them. Harmony 12 is starting to fix that issue, but we've noticed that on our rigs we built in September in Harmony 11, transferred to 12, the deformers don't work properly if at all (lots of extra pegs in the node library)- not a big deal and certainly manageable, but there's still a few issues to work out.

That and Toon Boom wasn't very backwards compatible with older versions if you were working in animate pro or whatever, transferring a rig from old to new was basically impossible- making it difficult for animators on a budget to work remotely and bring their work from home. When I spoke with the guy I interviewed with, Harmony 11 was the highest version available, and I don't think that Toon Boom was using a subscription model just yet- pretty sure that was implemented recently. Flash is a decent alternative if you're already paying for the entire Adobe suite, I guess it just depends on the person, and the scope of the project. I'm not saying Toon Boom isn't a good program since I use it as well, but I've worked with Flash also- while Toonboom is more intuitive with rigs I find, I don't really find it hard to classically animate with it- mind you, for small animations. PS: no I wasn't paid by TB to say all that stuff. Adobe has already abandoned developpement on the software appart from some webdesign functions. One last note : Flash isn't being improved for animation. the only reasons you would need a premium version of Toonboom would be either for complex cut-out rigs that flash can't do (like Wander over Yonder) or to use the built-in module for nodal compositing.

A lot of studio think that they absolutely NEED the full version but don't realise that if Flash does what they need, the cheapest bersion of Toonboom already does more than that. The idea that Toonboom is more expensive than Flash is bollocks : a perpetual license for Toonboom Harmony Essentials is 375$, basically half of a perpetual licence for Flash for a software that already does a lot more.

Also, Ankama has ditched Flash for their animated projects now : their Dofus movie and the 3rd season of Wakfu are now made in TVPaint. I know a couple of people who worked on the series and the general consensus was that Flash was an absolute pain to work with : It's not optimized for todays animation pipeline, it corrupts files on a regular basis and it's just not comfortable to work with at all, whether you're working in cut-out animation or in frame by frame. Ankama used Flash because they already had most of their team trained to use it since their first game (Dofus) was entirely made in Flash.
