I think you have got it all wrong as far as film animation goes and the use of linux....I wont have the time to give you all the details...reading on the net you can come to your own conclusions..starting with http://linuxmovies.sourceforge.net/ Ditto for The Gimp.... It would be more helpful if you gave pointers for the right installation..By now I have learnt that using a serial port graphics tablet would not be a problem in gnu/linux . USB support is not too good at the moment... So for now I will not be responding any further lest we deviate and get into these basic discussions.....Thank you.... Best regards... - Maz. --- Mayuresh Kathe <mayuresh(a)vsnl.com> wrote: GIMP? a good graphics software!!! GIMP is basically an "image manipulation" tool, try to do something as basic as creating shapes (rectangles, triangles, etc), you'll have to really break your head. Film animation was ealier or SGI, now most of them are moving over to MacOS X, Linux was just used by one or two films (I think Titanic, but again they are rumours, no hard facts). Which app do you plan to use for sketching? You think INR5000/- is cheap?? consider the lowly mouse, its just INR500/- 10 times cheaper than a tablet. I am not trying to dissuade you from purchasing what you want, but just trying to open your eyes to different side of the story.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Graphics Tablet

Gnu/Linux and graphics.. The GIMP is as good as any graphics software on other OSs. I am sure there are many graphics artists working on Linux. There has been much development in film animation industry on the Linux platform..but it is very high end..and closed ..as the developers were working for specific studios. Linux is simply too good an OS...and no matter what you do with computers- even pure graphics- it should logically be the platform of choice. My purpose? ....I take a lot of digital pictures and I do sketches..simple ones.. The pictures side is fine..flphoto, the GIMP.. On the sketching side..mouse is inadequate..on any platform... Graphics tablets dont seem to be expensive...I am still making enquiries...on the net I found the price to be around Rs 5000...there are lesser priced ones....so if one likes to sketch with digital ink, it is not a bad deal... But yes...the driver part...Linux support by manufacturers still lags behind... This will change in time..But meanwhile one goes ahead with the do-it-yourself approach of linux, with a little help from those who have already done it... - Maz. >--- Mayuresh Kathe <mayuresh(a)vsnl.com> wrote: >I guess I did, but if you haven't used one before and you aren't a >graphics artist (they don't switch to Linux since there aren't any good >graphics development apps), then what do you need a graphics tablet for? >~Mayuresh On Wed, 10 Mar 2004, Maz Kamran wrote: > You seem to have missed my original message asking for anyone who has used one in linux... > > --- Mayuresh Kathe <mayuresh(a)vsnl.com> wrote: > >What is a graphics tablet? isn't is some sort of big touch pad with a pen? > >~Mayuresh > _____________________________________________________________ Linux.Net -->Open Source to everyone Powered by Linare Corporation http://www.linare.com/
