    Programs of the Highly Effective Animator

    I wanted to start this tread to make programs aware to the A&A community. The programs should directly help you in the animation process. Please add your own. Include the name of the program, a brief description, if its free/free trial/cost, and its web site. I'll start one.

    Program - Storyboard Tools
    Price - Free

    This program will let you make a story board easily in a very organized workspace. You can either draw them directly in the program or import most standard picture files. Afterwards you can compile it into an animated storyboard.

    I guess I'll add all the basics:

    Flash MX
    Price: $69
    Site: http://macromedia.com/

    Flash is the medium for animation on the web, it allows for small file sizes and complex actions. It also has it's own scripting language similar to c++. Finally, it can create vector graphics.

    Swift 3D
    Price: $200 (last time I checked)
    Site: http://www.swift3d.com/

    Swift 3D is a program used to create vector and raster 3D graphics. The feature that makes this product stand out is it's ability to publish it's movies as files readable by to flash.

    Photoshop
    Price: $??
    Site: ??

    Photoshop is the most powerful image editing program available today. It has an easy to follow interface and is the choice of many proffessionals.
