This happened not because of marketing or price, it happened because people found the program, tried it out and realized it would do what was needed for a fraction of the cost of other similar programs. Professionals have not been the primary focus of the marketing specifically but in spite of that many professionals have been using it since it's Moho days for commercial productions. You don't have to be a pro animator to buy and use it. Moho in the beginning and continuing with Anime Studio has been marketed as an affordable program with professional features that anyone can learn and use to create whatever they want. There are many people using Anime Studio who probably would pay a higher price but there are those who simply can't afford to or feel a higher price wouldn't be justified.Īnother issue is marketing. For software specifically, price doesn't always indicate value or power. ![]() Sometimes yes (cars, houses, chairs), but many times value is relative to what the user gets out of it and is willing to pay. Those two statements are obviously not always true. If it's very expensive it must be REALLY good I think it's silly to judge something based on the price I think price or "value" of anything is relative. Even back then without all of the amazing features added over the years it was worth way more than its price. Back then there was only one version and it was developed by one lonely guy and sold for the staggering price of $99. I've been using Anime Studio since it was called "Moho". AS is capable of any style and workflow, even if not optimized for every one (which none of its competitors are either). With the addition of smart bones this is starting to change a bit, but still almost completely lacking on an frame-by-frame examples.īut I agree with you. That is also probably, at least partially, due to the free content provided with AS, which (while great quality overall) is geared toward animating immediately and does not showcase much beyond cut-out. For me, the drawing tools are more than adequate, even for freehand (you just can't expect to animated fully freehand drawn artwork the same way you can precise vector art).Īnd AS has always been pigeon-holed as a strictly cut-out animation tool, probably because its bone tools are leaps and bounds beyond its competitors (even those costing almost ten times the price). But until it becomes a professionally accepted tool for production animation, it is probably good that it carves out the hobbyist (one-man studio) market (while most of its competitors are either over-priced for or lacking in features that help the hobbyist transition to professional work). Tell me what you guys think! Also tell me how much you think this software should be worth. I mean any kind of style could be done in the software but why do people look down on it and only see it for very basic animations and mostly for cut-out? Why does everyone refer to this program only doing cut-out animations? I personally do the Japanese anime style and it looks great and when I redo scenes it looks identical once I add color correction. To me this software is the best and I just don't get why its just as cheap as it is.Īlso my other concern is. To me I would pay $599.99 maybe even more. I just don't get why this software is only $299.99 for the Pro version. It has a lot of features and a lot more get added in each update. Its very very simple once you get use to it. ![]() Basically the drawing tools are quite easy for me to use and same with coloring. Also I get the drawing tools could be better but to me they are actually really good since I usually draw key frames on paper, scan, then trace in Anime Studio. ![]() You could do frame by frame, point animation, complex rigs, and the list goes on. I mean the Anime Studio Pro is the best software for animation in my opinion of course. Anime Style, Toon Style, Disney Style, etc. You could make animations very easy and every kind of style as well. You could really do anything in Anime Studio. The program seems to be worth a whole lot more then what they are selling it for. Sorry if this has been posted before but Anime Studio Pro 10 is very cheap and I have no idea why.
