YEAH! THIS is a resource you can start using TODAY (for practice) if you manage to find the time... https://www.shutterstock.com/search/frame-by-frame-animation
This is the book you were using at the library the other day and referring to for character ideas (in case you want to check it out in the future).
The above might have been an unfair assessment in that NightCafe has a number of controls I wasn't using previously (because I didn't know where they were located or that they even existed). In any case, one cool thing about NightCafe is that they give you 5 (fresh new) free credits every day. Generated using NightCafe... Not only that... I just now discovered (saw) something else!...
Then again, these Reallusion programs that I ran across today look like they might be better. Moreover, they offer 30-day free trials, so if I can successfully download Cartoon Animator 5, I'll give it a whirl and see what I think. It looks like it will be easier to use than CreateStudio, yet produce a more polished product. Character Creator 4 | Reallusion iClone 8 | Reallusion Cartoon Animator 5 | Reallusion I had a vision of a software that would make animation super easy by having everything ALREADY pre-programmed into it, and I thought I was going to have to put together a team to create it once I had a mega-reserve of capital to draw from. Thankfully, it appears Charles Chen already started down that road back in the year 2000, so now I won't have to.
