Title: Post production programs...
Post by: Ulundel on January 16, 2003, 01:37:59 pm: I'm looking for a good post-production program but can't decide which one to choose. My first thought was Discreet but they have flame, flint and combustion, all for post production and I'm a little confused here...

Or any other good PP progs? Suggestions? :)

Sorry, can't help you there.

Honestly, a used piece of toilet paper from the Discreet offices would figure in the hundreds. And graphics people would fight tooth-and-nail for it, too.

I don't care if they're good, they're still overpriced.

I guess you're right, but if we're going that way, just about anything would qualify as a "post production" program. :p Suppose you want to make some ship texture or something in Photoshop or PSP. You create a new blank image, save it right away, thus "producing" it, and there you go: it is now post-production! :D

This is one place where I fully agree with you. :nod: I wonder who actually bothers to pay the full price for those things except for corporations; 3ds max costs as much as an entire cutting-edge computer system...
