I have been playing with this software on a demo its cool

Anime studio. I had heard this spoken of awhile back and I dont know how many people like to draw and create cartoons here but this software is pretty well packed with any feature you could possibly want. I am considering purchasing it. I had been looking at a product from another company but I really like this one lol

I am playing with the "debut" version to see what I can do with their cheap version.

Do you still have to be visually artistic to use it? If you can't draw in real life would you not be able to draw in this program? Or is it like "anybody can do it"... cause I can't draw for crap but if there's a program where I could make anime characters without artistic ability that would be sweet.

Its got premade stuff or you can do it from scratch. Its not just anime the title discouraged me from trying it for a bit until I saw a cartoon. The pro is very sophistocated but it looks like the cheap version is pretty good as well. You could make a tv series with it lol. I have just been working through the tutorial to see how all the buttons work and am just about to hit the animation part haha. I was looking at another program from a company called reallillusion as I use their other software but to be honest this one looks better for 2d cartoon stuff.

Anyhow there is a trial you can check it out if you want. Its got like body parts so you can glue a figure together or just start with nothing .

That sounds awesome! I might have to incorporate some cartoons into my videos!

I am definately going to get it. I am just trying to decide if I want to get the cheap or expensive version right away. Its full animation software which I was amazed at but then again this stuff is becoming more commonplace.
