Hello all !
My brother likes to draw. Ever since he was a little kid, he drew
fantastic images, and all I could do was stood there drooling ... No
matter how I tried, I just can't draw.
My brother has never had any formal training, and he needed none. He
can draw any manga or any anime character with just a look.
My brother's 13th birthday is next month, and I want to get him
something that would greatly help him ... a PC with software to help
him do animation !!
I've searched the Internet for clues, and there are lots and lots of
different animation packages, from open-sourced packages to commercial
offerings ... from 2D "Flash" cartoon drawing packages to 3D (cad-
like) ray-tracing packages.
There are so many packages out there I'm lost, so I need your help.
I understand that you all gurus in the fields of manga/anime/animation
and please help !!
Please tell me which animation software package that you are using, or
which animation package you think is best, and why ....
If it is possible, I also would like to have some sort of
"comparison", either by feature, or by ease of use, or by
intuitiveness .. etc.
My budget ? I'm willing to spend up to 5K (usd) . After all, I only
have one brother ! :)
Thank you all for reading, and hope that your suggestion/opinion/
advices would help me get the perfect gift for my brother.
I, and on behalf of my brother, THANK YOU !
