heyyy

again, what would be the BEST way to import drawings with xara into anime studio? I have decided I do want to be able to manipulate vector shapes within moho, instead of doing the alpha-png route...

on other notes, wondering if since anime studio will be ported to linux etc, xara is also open source.... just wondering maaaybe we could wire em together?

;)

Xara isn't open source. I use it a lot, and what I do is export .ai files from Xara into AS, and then spend ages cleaning up the superfluous vector nodes. It's painful, but I'd rather do that than work directly with the AS drawing tools. There are people on the forum who love AS drawing tools, but I'm not one of them. Xara is a REAL drawing program!

there is an opensource development of Xara called Xara Xtreme which is at the moment working on linux.
