Thanks for the info. I think I should have said that I am a newbie to
animating. I have recently done Cert IV in Digital Media and Diploma in
Multimedia and now that I'm not there I don't have the money to go and buy
any of the programs, so yes it's great to find open source software to use.

 I saw a Quicktime Mov that was on the net and it looked great. So I decided
to take a look at it myself. I'm not a coder myself, I have always found it
hard to do and only just barely scraped through my exams. I was actually
surprised I passed.


This is part of an email that some info about what someone else did. I
googled Eyesweb & MaxMSP. and haven't had a chance to read all of it - but
will do.

Hi all,
I managed to get Animata working using Eyesweb & MaxMSP.
I used a PC and a MAC
On the PC -
I used Eyesweb to get the OSC data and then MaxMSP to capture them and send
them over the network.
On the MAC-
I used MaxMSP to capture the OSC send from the PC and then to my rigged
character in Animata.
The results were pretty good the only problem I faced was having a well lit
room and sometime the rigging would fall apart (for reasons not known to me)
I think the more complex the character for erg. .with legs the more tricky.
The Indonesian shadow puppet works best.
But I finally got a good rigged character.
Thanks to all at Kitchen Budapest for the EyesWeb patches and ofcourse for
giving us ANIMATA :)
And also thanks to my teacher Jan Klug for helping me out with MaxMSP
programming.

Thanks for your help :)

I'm a non coder and animata works fine for me. Sure, its not as feature rich
as commercial software, but its free and it does what its designed to do.
Can't express my gratitude enough for this amazing tool.
As far as saving, you can save animata files just fine, and import them as
layers into other animata projects. If you need output, you can always
record your screen. Also in case you don't know the viewer window can be
made full screen with the spacebar.

  I just installed Animata on my pc and had a play, cool stuff. I wanted to 
render out what I had done and couldn't see where or how to do this. I use 
Blender and it has a "save as" area where I put in the settings in to render 
out either  an image sequence or quicktime .mov
  I looked through all the tabs and "File" to see where to do this but I didn't 
find any. Would you be able  me?

  Kind Regards
