A question of curiosity (can't see a section for this)
Posted: Fri May 25, 2018 3:11 pm
I was out of touch with Muvizu for many years after using the very first generation releases - partly because my computer was way too old and slow for later versions and then because a close family bereavement took all my time and energies for a very long time. So I'm at a loss to know when, how and why the Muvizu project came to an end in the hands of its original developers who seemed so dedicated to the entire project.
> What happened to end up causing Muvizu to be sold or handed over to meshmellow?
> Are we at an end of all the hassles and mayhem that many folks seem to have found since meshmellow took over?
> Has the development of Muvizu now reached a conclusion with 'Player' and 'Pro'? Or will work continue - and if so, by whom?
> Or is meshmellow now simply going to be a marketing outlet? (And will they actually be promoting Muvizu?)
> I'm assuming that the pdf v.2 manual dated 2016 covers either the final incarnation of Muvizu - or very nearly its final form?
For many years I used what could and should have been a superb 2d animation program called 'Artoonix' but the developers made one crucial mistake when they started developing it ... they allowed for only one unlockable pivot point instead of multiple & lockable pivots. I always believde that to be one key reason why the program failed to make any real impact in the world of 2d animation. I'm now wondering if Muvizu might end up on the same sort of dusty shelf within the realms of 3d animation if development and promotion don't continue.
Anyone got any thoughts or answers to me questions? .... Many thanks in advance if you do.
