Deluxe Paint IV
« on: June 23, 2008, 03:59:33 AM »
Recently, I got a copy of DP4 for next to nothing, after a long time of never using it, have re-discovered the joys of Move and having a fun time with all the great animation features. I've even made some interesting optical illusion animations. I might even use it to make the intros for my YouTube videos after I convert the Anim5 to GIF. Gotta say, Dan Silva was a programing genius.

Is there anything equivalent on the PC side as far as ease of use?

I do have PSP. I'm still trying to get the hang of it though. Its certainly got nice features which I use, but not having an integrated animation feature is a pain. Most of what I've used on YouTube has been from PSP's animation program, but mostly for the slide show aspect for titles. Might as well go for the retro-look, since my videos are of the odd-ball quality.

If you like DPaintIV so much (and who doesn't), check out Brilliance 2.0 as its worthy successor.

Also, if you can get your hands on a DCTV and/or OpalVision card, the paint programs that came with those two hardware devices were top notch as well.

Hi AD. I have Brilliance, although I lost the little dongle that came with it, so I can't use it. Personal Paint would be cool if it only had the perspective feature.

I've been mulling over getting a DCTV. I've got some animation ideas that will probably require one in the future. Think "Low Res Theatre!", classic movie scenes done in 32 color low res!

the closest thing is cosmigo's ProMotion. PSP does not really compare. ProMotion is the bomb.


Ah, that looks like the trick. Not too bad a price either. They even compare it to DPaint!
