ToonDoo

In a previous post I talked about Comiqs. Comiqs is photo-based. There's another online comic creator where you insert characters, backgrounds, and props instead of images:


I like to make comics, but when it comes to drawing I'm horrible. ToonDoo has helped me make this comic right here:

Celestia

I found out about long before I started blogging, so I've had it for a while. Bassicly, it's a grand tuor of the universe. You can fly around in your spaceship to anywhere, at any speed possible. You can make time go fast and see the planets rotate, have time go as it is (the planets still rotate, but too slow to notice,) or pause time all together. My only critique on it is that it dosen't have nebulas, which in my opinion are the most beutiful things in the universe.

Here's a video I found on you-tube:

How the Market Works

Have fun, and buy and sell your own stocks. It's just like the real market, but you don't get or lose any real money. Good for learning economics: http://www.howthemarketworks.com/

Anim8or

Amimation - an esteemed modern art that was once only for trained proffesionals. But now, you don't need to develop your own software to animate good-looking animations; nor buy expesive programs like IClone. Now, with Anim8or, you can do it all for free.
The only problem is that it takes forever. Watch this movie:

FaceMorpher

Don't want to morph multiple photos? Want a really simple program to morph two photos only? Try FaceMorpher Lite! All you have to do is to load two images and point to the faces you want to morph.

It's fun! Imagine your home video enhanced with stunning effects. Filmed a wedding? Try to morph the bride into a little girl and vice versa, or morph the groom and the bride together to see how their kids will look. Amuse your friends morphing them into political celebrities, movie superstars or popular musicians. Express yourself in morphs!

FaceMorpher Lite is the first fully automated image morphing software on the market. It is tuned to work with human faces. No need to manually define control points. 

FaceMorpher Lite uses its AI to analyze images and to automatically recognize parts of faces that should be morphed into each other. Putting it simply, all you have to do is to load two images and point to the faces you want to.

iClone

is very awesome - you can animate realistic 3D people. It comes with two free people and two sets, and you can buy waaaaaaaaay more. The fact that I  don't like to spend money has given me limits, but if you're a spender you can animate anything.

One note: Iclone is awesome in everything except for price and facial animation. If you get "CrazyTalk" from the same makers, you can import CrazyTalk files into iClone and make your characters talk like they aught to. Haven't tried it because I don't really need to, but if you want to make it seem more realistic get CrazyTalk.

both programs brought to you by...
