I do 2D animations also in Si because it has better animation tools than say... AE or Animestudio or toon boom... And I am no fan of flash. Also you can get some really cool 2D effects or even some cool hybrid effects much easier. You can even have isometric design quite easily, which is another 2d animating program would be difficult.
These ICE compounds are great! I wish I knew them from before. I must admit it sometimes was cumbersome to animate hundreds of sprites sometimes. --- Original Message --- From: "Stephen Davidson" <[email protected]> Sent: March 24, 2014 9:55 AM To: "Eugen Sares" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Subject: Re: ICE trigger animation? Just one question... Why are you using a 3D App to do a 2D animation? It just seems to me that you are using a Lamborghini engine to drive a Volkswagen. No disrespect to you or any of the car companies mentioned. I'm just trying to understand your plan. It would be so simple to do in something like AfterEffects. I'm sure it could be done in ICE, but that would be just an example of learning ICE through a simple animation example.
