@Amigakidd:
I'd recommend you to learn TVPaint and ImageFX.
U can get TVPaint for free (
http://www.tvpaint.fr/public/TVPaint359/TVPaint.rar ). One of its main strengths is its excellent graphics engine, as it produces among the most vivid colors I've ever seen. Ideal if u have drawing talents.
ImageFX 4.5 (can be bought here
http://www.novadesign.com) is another Amiga gem.
It is a graphics manipulation program, similar to other software on other platforms, eg. Photoshop, but IMHO it's more flexible than Photoshop.
There's a Yahoo group about Imagefx (
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/imagefx ) where u can ask for help!
The best 3d software that is a good companion of ImageFX, is Aladdin4D (
http://aladdin4d.blogspot.com/ ); its own way of doing animation is different, can be hard to grasp at first, but once u do, u can't do without its flexibility.
Last recommendation, is to use Amiga emulation on a today's Pc/Macs, as it literally flies. Speed is *everything* for this kind of stuff!
