TvPaint now lives as Aura DV Paint, well at least some of the interface/ gui/ tools are exactly the same. Both programs are exellent IMO. :-)


Actually it was TVPaint for the PC at first, then it became Aura when Newtek began selling it, and now is Aura when Newtek bundles, but the new standalone version (and worth all $275 for the upgrade) is MIRAGE.    I kid that 50% of the software venders at NAB used to be Amiga companies, but its pretty much true.   The people that wrote Montage, now write 2 different PC programs (the team split up).  The folks that brought us the great paint program Opalpaint,  have a very nice PC paint program that I cant think of at the moment.  All the old Play people who did Trinity did Brilliance, and DCTVpaint, and one of the Toaster CG programs.   Someone made a comment about Elastic Reality.  They sold lock stock and barrel to AVID, who has incorporated there software into their editor.

I'm sorry, I can see how what I said could confuse.

It was TVPaint for the Amiga
then
TVPaint for the PC/Alpha
then
Aura for PC/Alpha
and now its
Mirage for the PC/Mac

Though Newtek wil contine to ship Aura 2.5 with VT[3] and have the right to enhance it.
