Cartoon software Animo goes Mac OSX - Cambridge Animation Systems' cartoon software ANIMO was one of the highlights during the European research project EUROPORT D that we helped to promote in 1998. Now CAS has announced that it will bring Animo to Mac OS X.

Cambridge Animation Systems has announced that it will bring Animo , its 2D and 3D animation software, to Mac OS X, although the company has not said when the Mac OS X version will be released. Animo seamlessly integrates 2D and 3D animation for development of feature films, animated television series, commercials, games, and multimedia projects. The Mac OS X version of Animo will be able to exchange files with both the Windows and IRIX versions as well.

For e-mediate and TextLab, this is good news in two ways:
First, Animo was a very successful partner during the EUROPORT D project that we have accompanied with various services, including a promotional video (go to EUROPORT D there). Good to see an old friend back.

Second, we will be able to use this world-class software now without compromising our production standards (lots of Macintoshs, UNIX, one lonley Intel PC). Chief cartoonist Karl Bihlmeier will get his hands on it as soon as possible.
