MS Paint isn't that bad if you know what you're doing. Case in point, almost all my avatars have been done in MS Paint (with the exception of my two most recent - they were MS Paint - Photoshop hybrids).

AND don't save your files as JPG's. Save them as .BMP's then use another program to convert them. That way you have some control over the quality settings.


QFT

I normally save as .BMP, and then save the final version as a .BMP and .PNG. Same quality as .BMP, with the size of a .GIF.

It's pretty much the program I use to make avatars, sigs, and doodles. Epic Whail is a prime example.

Well, some of us can't exactly drop $700 for one computer program, so don't shove it down our throats. I know it's an excellent program (took a semester class in it), but until I get it I'll settle for something else.

For some reason, I often get the same feelings about people who blindly love flash without ever having tried any other program.


People who blindly love Flash as what? An animation program, or otherwise?

Anything. People seem to tihnk it is a magical program, but many of the features of flash are easily supassed by other programs. I have always said that no good animation comes from one single program. As most of us know, the drawing tools really arent the best. Of course, they arent meant to be, but still, I often find myself making objects in fireworks, painter, or another such program.

There is very little you can do with design and construction (but that's the same with almost every 2d animation program), so I have to turn to a 3d animation and modelling program to make stuff to onion skin.

I think that actionscript is nice though. I might take the time to learn 3, but I'll probably never use it, so I might not. All the games I've been working on are as2.

Of course, if someone is just going to make a crappy 2 minute webtoon, then I think flash is the way to go, but I wish people knew that there are more options.

You could get aura, or toonboom, then export to a filetype importable by flash, then export to swf, but many people just wont hear it. This is my peeve because many people ask me to help them animated, and they wont take my advice, thinking that there is some kinda shortcut.

I personally find it offensive on a small note. I went to summer courses at a local community college to take animation and 3d design for 4 summers, starting when I was 10. After that, I stopped going when there was nothing else they could teach me (My teacher's words at the end of the 4th course). I have even been to seminars about animation. I have been subscribing to various digital art magazines for the past 6 years (Getting it news stand a year before that). I learned to use flash, blender, maya, 3ds max, toonboom, Photoshop, painter, and others, yet people still live with the mistaken impression that I can just "Show them how to do it", and they will magically be good animators. They see my short film, which, to anyone who doesnt know I made it, often gets the comment "Did pixar make that?", and they still think it can be taught overnight, and that it is easy.

Worse than that, perhaps, is the people who want me to make them an animation or game. I wouldnt have a problem with this, but since I am working on so much right now, I am rather costly. I tell them that if they dont like the prices, they can go teach themself animation, and refer sever books to them, and even offer to lend them some of my old books, since buying all of them would cost well over $1000, but the always decline. DO PEOPLE HAVE NO PATIENCE?!?!?!

Flash's high price, and the fact that Frets on Fire runs oh so slowly on my computer.

Does anyone know how I can fix the latter? (besides getting a new computer)

So... like you still need Flash to do that? Yeah, impatient people are annoying though.

Yes. I hate that one also.

I was on some flash forums and once saw something similar to this:

Quote:
Hello,
I am a future video game developer. I hope to be great someday. I have recently started in flash, but I am having some trouble with action script. Here is my script. Flash wont run it:

1 If a player press "A", shoot
2 If they press "up", go up.


It went on and on. And based on some information, we were able to determine that he was not a troll.

This statement right here makes me wish that I did more productive things (like the above) over my summer, instead of being a crippled Flash animator and a writer who can't finish anything.

To go along with the previous statement, my peeve is that I never finish anything. I want to make that Breakout clone that looks at the game in new ways with new modes? 'Want to write that Forumfic that I've promised that I'd finish months ago? Want to try to pick up on the hobby of drawing? Meh, work on it for a day or two, then not get around to it for a month, year, or possibly ever. I just can't limit myself down to one thing at a time, so therefore, nothing gets accomplished.

That's all, folks!
