Hey Mike,..
It's Dolce' here! Glad to see you in a forum. Congrats on the new job! Keep the TigerWoods games coming as my 5 year old son loves them on his Gameboy! If you ever get a break from Headgate,...we look forward to seeing TweenMaker hit the streets!

Does Tweenmaker do only liner interpolation between two or more curves / shapes with similar number of nodes? Or, it does inbetweening even for non-similar Keyframes like Living Cels?

TweenMaker 1.0 released
Okay everyone, TweenMaker has officially been released! Go get your FREE copy of it and try it out at http://www.tweenmaker.com!
There is still some help documentation on the way that will go a long way to explain about how to take advantage of the motion tools.
If you sign up for the newsletter (http://www.tweenmaker.com/news.html) you will get an update when the documentation comes out.
Enjoy!

I have been chasing this software for a long time. It is finally out. Thanks Mike for sharing wth us. It seems it has lots of useful functions, yet it is hardly possible to figure out without help files. I hope it will out soon.
My first impression is; this is a kind of mixture of Moho and the Tab. Of course we wil see the pluses and minuses after playing with it under tutorials...
Thanks anyway, it is an important contribution to the animation community.

EY GUYS! It's seems good!!! I didn't know about the bones feature (and I don't know how it works yet) but the shape manipulation seems amazin! and all WITHOUT DAMMED POINTS?? 
WOW! I must try how both techniques works in combination! I CAN'T WAIT!!! 
...BYE!

Mmmm... Any TIP about bones?? I can make an skeleton, but I can't figure how it works, I can't see the bones in other frame than zero and... I can wait more! I need to see it!!! Jaja, PLEASE! I don't want go to sleep without have seen it

It's a little tricky and needs to be simplified. Essentially, create bones by dragging with the add bones tool. Then using the edit tool, click on bones and select curves you want to be connected to the bones. When joints are selected, you can modify the paths they move on. More details in the up comming documentation.Ramón López wrote:Mmmm... Any TIP about bones?? I can make an skeleton, but I can't figure how it works, I can't the bones in other frame than zero and...

...well, jaja, it must be a silly thing and I suppose I'll discover soon 
...GOOD NIGHT!I've get it! Interesting the way bones interact with the "unpointed" forms as far as I've seen, I think could be the SO waited solution (or be in the right way at least) to avoid animation levels incompatibilities and make really CREDIBLE 2D "boned" animation 
...Well, now a little doubt, there is no IK feature for bone chains? Or (hope!) am I missing something? Mmmm... anyway I must keep on investigating a little more , CIAO!
PS: The pity (for me at least) is that the program seems doesn't have too much features yet... of course that is a normal thing, yes... but a pity at last

Mac version?
I know Tweenmaker just came out, but are there any plans for a Mac version?
Re: Mac version?
TweenMaker was originally developed under Linux using wxWindows so a port to Mac is possible. However, there are many things that have been added that are specific to windows (such as animated line prompt, some of the buttons and layout, and tablet input). This will make a port back to Linux and or Mac more difficult. Should TweenMaker become popular and the level of interest justify it, a port to Mac will most likely be done. For now, I know of a least one person running it on his Mac via a Windows emulator. He says it actually runs better in this fashion than it does on his PC... Go figure.tubbesing wrote:I know Tweenmaker just came out, but are there any plans for a Mac version?
By the way. I just posted some documentation on TweenMaker. It's VERY incomplete, but I'll keep updating it as I go. You can check it out at http://www.tweenmaker.com/help.
Also, if you add your e-mail to the news letter(http://www.tweenmaker.com/news.html), I can let you know once the documentation has been completed and posted.
Nope, no IK. Just paths of motion. See the documentation I just posted.Ramón López wrote:no IK feature for bone chains?
Thanks.
