So why aren't you just using Photoshop alone, and be done with it?

Maybe because I can render 3D frames, with keyframing and other setup times included, far faster than I could ever hope to hand draw a like number of frames in Photoshop or any other paint program?

...then mesh is a necessity to you, no?

Of course, there's always Manga Studio, I suppose...

/P

???? I don't recall ever saying mesh wasn't important; just that it was not the be all and end all of CG. Particularly in animation (you know, the moving stuff), it is only one part in a pipeline. worthy of credit for what it is, and not entitled to the credit of the other stages that have little or no bearing on its existance. Good lighting is good lighting, regardless. Same with camera work. Next?
