| What platform do you wish to make animations on?

| See Wavefront (as in Jurassic Park). It runs only on HP or SGI.

Right, and the Babylon 5 stuff was done mostly on Amigas (R.I.P.)

| Re: -1
Animator Pro and 3D Studio are good choices for the PC,
the designers in my group use both of those tools for
their animations.
Director, by Macromedia runs on the Mac. Another good
choice.
There are a couple of notes conferences you can look into,
XSTACY::PC_MULTIMEDIA and BGSDEV::MULTIMEDIA_SERVICES.

For low-end animation on the Mac you can try AddMotion II - it's
bundled free in Hypercard 2.2. Good enough for simple presentations
or putting together short quicktime clips for transitions. Has
soundmgr support, a path/timeline/cel editors and a fairly easy
to use interface - the docs are pretty poor and the example code
is skimpy, but you can get good effects fairly easily.
Depending on what you want to do you could also need a raft of
supporting products (and horsepower) - post-processing ("Apply this
Photoshop filter to every frame of the movie"), scripting ("If you
mousedown in this frame-range then go to this clip with a wipe
transition"), rendering ("I need a wierd machine that looks like
a cross between a toaster and a fish") ... multimedia hell is
made of this. ;) Add in full-screen video capture w/genlock and
you're talking large bucks.

| Hi Mike,
For PC Multimedia animation etc check out:
XSTACY::PC_MULTIMEDIA
For ray tracing, morphing etc try:
exocet::ray_tracing
The ray tracing conf has pointers to many shareware versions of
commercial software to try etc.
Cheers,
Greg
