Autodesk Animator Description

Autodesk Animator was a 2D animation and painting program created in 1989 by Autodesk (makers of AutoCAD and 3D Studio Max) and ran on a PC uder MS-DOS. It was debuted at SIGGRAPH 1989, and won the PC Magazine 6th Annual Technical Excellence Award for Graphics that same year. It worked so well and had enough of an impact, that it convinced James Cameron that CGI could create a character in his next film, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The program is no longer supported or being developed.

'Animator' only ran in 320x200. 'Animator Pro' ran in almost any resolution. 'Animator Studio' was a re-write for Windows that attempted to do a lot more, with limited success. Animator Pro was by far the most useful, and was exceptionally fast compared with today's animation programs. It was one of the very few DOS programs that could use all the memory in your computer. Its combination of twenty tools multiplied by twenty inks, plus many other useful features and custom scripts, made it years ahead of other so-called 'animation' tools of the time.
