is there one for WINDOWS?

[sjmulder]

Dimp isn't available for Windows and probably won't be, but you can try Stykz, Pivot or any of the other popular animation programs.

[xXXxcoWanxXXx]

okay.....but does it have tweening to make it smooth like tisfat does?(i don't know if you know tisfat....)

[sjmulder]

Yap, Dimp has tweening. It's built around tweening. You can even tween different bones independently. There's also a special detail timeline view (press Command+2) where you can accurately see how bones move.

um why can't I find a leapord version?

[sjmulder]

There's just one version for Tiger and Leopard; Dimp detects what it's running on and will adjust accordingly.

I'll adjust the text on the site to make that clear :-).

[pojecthurricane]

leuk :D

[evil993]

sick man its nice, I just don't understand how to use it.

[sjmulder]

Drop by at Dimpleton, ask some questions :) there I've got the space to answer them all.

Also it will get easier with every version now.

[fread2]

how do you download the new one cos i have account and it says there is only the 1.0

[sjmulder]

I just realize I forgot to update the front page download at dimp-animator, I'll update it right away. Where does it say 1.0 though?

[sjmulder]

Okay I just fixed the link on dimp-animator. Click 'Download the public preview now' and then the big 'Download Dimp Animator preview' link. Hope that works.

[fread2]

how do you add other figures?

[sjmulder]

Not possible yet, sorry for that. But if you go to Dimpleton, the Field of Contest, then Play Ball you can download a file where there is a ball in the scene.

That's not enough of course, I'll be adding the ability to add figures, though it's not going to be in the next release yet (two weeks).

[TheStickFan]

Can you create new figures? If so, what kind of layout will the creator have?

[sjmulder]

Not yet in this version, but there'll be  a fairly extensive creator. It'll have different bone types and you can also save the figures separately.

[TheStickFan]

What do you mean by bone types?

[sjmulder]

(Or segement types.) Right now they are lines but for example Pivot also lets you make a circle.

[TheStickFan]

cool maybe you can do Curves, Letters, and Blocks too!

[adrihomer]

nice :D good work

[sjmulder]

Thanks :) if you post an animation to the theater now, you'll be the first non-dev/-tester to do so :P
