Amiga Artist Newbie
« on: April 02, 2009, 07:13:23 PM »
I've been working on Mac based graphic arts using your usual Adobe Creative Suite. I've been a mac user as well since system 7. Plus a PC, like always.

I plan to use graphics apps on my hobby amiga. Yes, The amiga is used for hobby projects. Can anyone recommend good graphic apps for me. I'm not working on OS 4, only on classic amiga 1.3 to os 3.9

Yes, this is emulated though Amiga Forever.
I've heard of Deluxe Paint. I also want to know if there are Illustrator or Quark-like apps that I can play around with. or even 3d programs. I know that Toaster cannot run on AF2008.

I'm thinking once I get the gist of it, I plan to sell my amiga artwork via cafepress, if ever get good.

I have a degree in graphic design. Just curious to use an Amiga graphics app as an alternative add to my current knowledge of graphics apps. I got into the Amiga because of the graphics palette and interesting multimedia chipsets.

WinUAE enthusiast.

Curious about: Amiga OS, Morph OS, X-Amiga, Amikit, Amiga Forever, WinUAE, Efika, Minimig,
and other forms Amiga-like Computers.

wow, the amiga has 4x as much graphics programs as the mac does. This makes the mac a business machine :)

The job recruiter I went to last week gave me a checklist of what programs I know (about 2 page long) it has Aladdin 4D, ImageFX, Lightwave. I'm gonna learn these programs.

No wonder the Amiga is a creative computer and people feel attached to them, because it has a soul and creativity in it.

I heard that TV stations still use Amigas for displaying text on screen. That is so inspiring.

I'm going to learn some of these apps while I'm still unemployed at least I can explore them and play with them.

I was also inspired by Who Framed Roger Rabbit movie to start animating. I'll play around with TV Paint. I hope the dev team in Winuae should start doing open source support for Webcams and emulate Video toaster or a fake genlock capabilities into Winuae using cheap 0.3 or higher webcams. ::: Toni Wilen ::: Wink Wink idea...
