652.0. "Graphics Help" by KERNEL::TAGGARTN () Wed Nov 01 1989 11:38

    [Another Tony Hart]
    
    I am really interested the graphic capabilities of the ATARI ST
    and I was wondering if any users would recommend some reasonably
    priced graphic software packages.  
    
    I have a copy of DEGAS ELITE but I would like some opinions on other
    packages preferably below �150.
    I am particulary interested in animation.

652.1Here are two to start with ...JUMBLY::OWENSThu Nov 02 1989 06:1919
    I have used two graphics packages, both allow for animation.
    
    The first is CYBER PAINT. This cost around �60. It is part of the CYBER
    STUDIO set, although it can be used on its own. The animation
    facilities are similar to the Quantel paintbox, with flips, twirls,
    motion etc. For proffesional quality animation, I would recomend the
    whole CYBER series. With some haggling, you could get the three main
    packages for under �150; they are, CYBER STUDIO, CYBER CONTROL and
    CYBER PAINT.
    
    The other, is ART DIRECTOR / FILM DIRECTOR. You will need both. ART
    DIRECTOR creates the basic images, FILM DIRECTOR animates them. FILM
    DIRECTOR also has a simple tweening facility for geometric shapes, it
    is quite effective. Each package costs around �40; but it is possible
    to get them together for around �50, if you shop around.
