I getting ready an animation package for the ST. We want to start selling it
this summer. It uses charactor based animation and is fully 3D. This program
is not a cad program and is very different than CAD 3D (a great program) and
is not a ray tracer. Anyway I deciding with programs I should support that
that they will work with the program I'm working on. (Animator:Apperentice
which was written by Martin Hash, I'm adapting it to the Atari ST)
This program requires a paint program to make it really useful. So I'm trying
to get a handle on which paint programs I should support. I don't want to do
more than is needed yet I want to have a reasonable choice for the user.
So far my short term goals are:
1. work well with NeoChrome and Degas
2. work well with Spectrum 512 (this is the program I'll hope my
user use as 512 color displays are really nice for animation)
A few months down the road I want to also be compatible the CAD 3D and Cyber
Paint.
Is that enough are do people need other support. I don't what to support
something that only 1 or 2 people need, yet I want to cover the bases. So
far I'm not impressed with the more than 512 color displays and am steering
away from them. So what paint programs are people using?
