MOHO is on version 12 where as CTA is only on version 3. That's more likely the reason you see more ASP animations and more tutorials etc.<br /><br />From what I know of ASP (bearing in mind I only started learning it properly when I started blogging my progress) is that it's far more work to set up and animate a TET (David Arandle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10017963548130964043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31985209.post-85547567447931396162017-01-12T02:59:08.306+10:302017-01-12T02:59:08.306+10:30Update: Thanks again for your help!

For the most part, I am told more training "is coming." In my opinion, ASP11 has more training available and now that you helped me to organize it, I think it is "doable."

Do you think CTA3 is ideal for creating my own custom characters (that I draw)? It seems as if the options are limited to buying their character packs or using their template to create a character from their pre-designed hair, nose, body, etc. And can I capture external motion from a device such as Kinect (I know Nicole Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31985209.post-51270206698576313812016-12-28T22:49:19.486+10:302016-12-28T22:49:19.486+10:30PS...

The intention is to construct animated scenes of no more than a few minutes long, render them out as video files, then bring all your individual scenes together with video editing software (any video editor will do - I use Serif MoviePlus X6).<br /><br />This allows TET (David Arandle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10017963548130964043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31985209.post-46276108695849361732016-12-28T16:33:21.471+10:302016-12-28T16:33:21.471+10:30Hi David, great review on Toon Boom!

I was thinking of getting CTA 3 but the fact that I haven't been able to find any decent quality cartoons created with that software have got me hesitant if that's the right software for me.
