Software tips?

Hi there,

Most of the time I work in flash, and I love it.
My work: http://home.planet.nl/~mvanmiddelkoop
But I wonder if there is animation software available for mac which has a more drawn, sketchy look instead of the vector-smoothness of flash?
I love Corel Painter for drawings, but it's not so great for animation...
Tips anyone?

You might want to give "Plastic Animation Paper" a try. You sketch with your tablet, and it gives a nice look. Sorry, I don't have the link, but if you run a search for it, you should find it. Check out the samples, the bull in particular. There is a free demo that you can try before you purchase the software which is fully functional, but puts a watermark on your outputted animation.

Cheers

Gimp is available for mac i think
It's not exactly an animationg software , but I know you can actually d frame by frame animation with it

Painter has an animation thing to it.

Aw man, I wanna get Painter so bad....it looks so awesome...seems like concept designers use it alot these days...:)
