For some time now Toon Boom animators have been crying out for a proper blur effect to add to their arsenal. If similar vector-based applications like Flash can manage to create bitmapped blur effects certainly Toon Boom can emulate that success?
Toon Boom Studio 4 sought to bridge this missing feature with a feathering tool. Unfortunately, the limitations of this new tool were quickly uncovered.
Recently I’ve been approached from a couple of different directions about the difficulty of staying motivated. Peter asked a question about this in the comments for Make Your Own Cartoon.
Creating an animation is not a minor task, as I’m sure you’re aware. There are many steps involved, and finishing any of them is an accomplishment in its own right. The problem is the lack of public acknowledgment. That may be the coolest storyboard ever but in the end, even after the animation is completed, who will see it? Unless you’re a part of a team it’s just you and your great storyboards.
