If any of you want to follow up on our After Effects demo last week, you can take a look at a few of these tutorials.

Actionscript Libraries to make your life easier

Some times its just not worth the time and effort to write all that code. Actionscipt code libraries are pre-built functions that you can use for the desired effect. Here are a few of my favorites

Movieclip tweening prototypes (LMC Tween)
Fuse Kit (heavy duty animation, but watch out it has a learning curve)

Free vector animation software

Here’s some software for those of you who are interested in animation without the interactive abilities of Flash (Read animation only). Synfig is a high end vector animation package for OSX, Windows and Linux that offers a lot of professional features for free. So if your interested in the type of animation you see on Cartoon Network give this a try. I haven’t personally used this software but the feature list looks very high end and who can argue with the price.

And another one that competes with ToonBoom Studio. Again Open Source and available on most platforms.
