Does Pixar use PC or Mac for its 3d animation?
Interview with Pixar Animator ; At Pixar we use proprietary software running on Linux-based PC's. At home I have a Mac G4 and a Pentium PC (both in need of an upgrade). My favorite software includes Photoshop, After Effects and Animation: Master. I like A:M for it's simplicity and it's great character animation tools. It also runs on Mac and PC and doesn't have demanding CPU requirements. I did my first animations in A:M and I've stuck with it ever since. The guys at Hash, Inc. who make A:M are friends of mine.
Free Gif animation software for Mac?
Try GIFfun: http://www.stone.com/GIFfun/GIFfun_by_St... If you don't like that you can try GIFBuilder (http://www.pure-mac.com/gifanim.html#gif... ), but it's PPC-only so you'll have to run it through Rosetta (meaning it might not run as well as it would on a PowerPC Mac).
How do you save an animated GIF on a Mac?
Right-click and save image(it’s saved by default as a .gif file I guess). Whenever you want to use it, just copy and paste it.
