_____________________
[Update, new test version 3]
Important changes:

\- You can now quit PAP by pressing Apple-Q and then typing Y
\- Changing focus from window to window should work better
\- Wacom pen update should be faster
\- JPEG saving in PAP:Free should work correctly.
\- PAP can now be run from the mounted image directly for your
convenience

"In fact, PAP:Free should be fully functional. We're not opening for
purchases of PAP:Home and PAP:Pro yet though."

Known bugs/issues:
\- The close/minimize buttons on the window don't work - still trying
to work out why. If you're a Mac developer, please step forward.
\- The top bar menus disappear for some reason - again, ideas as to
why this is happening are welcome, we will happily provide technical
details.

Plastic Animation Paper (PAP) is a software package for doing 2D
animation. It will allow traditional animators to utilize the powerful
and timesaving advantages of computers. Using PAP you see your
animation as you create it, removing the need for line tests, cameras
and scanners. After getting comfortable with drawing directly to the
screen you never want to go back!

Plastic Animation Paper is Specialized, Efficient & Realtime, enables
High Quality, runs on Standard Computers and is very Affordable!

You will increase your daily output many times. Your workflow becomes
more dynamic, you get better quality and your animated character
improves his acting!

Who & What? PAP is perfect for big studios and professional animators,
as well as small companies and independent filmmakers. Beginners or
semi-pro animators get an opportunity to produce great animation from
their home office.

PAP is also ideal for animation courses. The teacher can show
techniques on a large screen. The students will see their animation
instantly and save a lot of time - and they can easily work from
material prepared by the teacher (like backgrounds, layouts or
animation examples).

PAP is perfect for television series, commercials and even feature
films. - But also for digital media, such as web animation and cut-
scenes or ingame cycles for computer games. PAP also works great for
creating storyboards and animatics.

Background. PAP was originally developed as an inhouse tool but the
interest from the animation industry convinced us to turn it into a
full application.

Working closely with studios using PAP has resulted in a unique piece
of software with a proven success in major productions of some of the
biggest, but also the smallest, studios in Northern Europe.

PAP is specialized. It is for doing the actual animation but not
colouring or compositing. Other kinds of programs perform those tasks
better. The focus is on getting the most effective software and
workflow for the animator!

All-round programs do 'everything' - but nothing really well.

Efficient & Realtime. PAP enables the animator to draw directly to the
screen in video or film resolution using a drawing-tablet. - Quickly
flipping back and forth or watching the animation instantly at up to
60 frames/sec.

The lighttable helps you to see several layers of drawings while
flipping and drawing in realtime.

You can plan your animation on the layout sheet or use it for loading
reference backgrounds. Working directly to an imported soundtrack, you
can get perfectly synchronized animation. Use features like undo,
perfect erase and cut & paste.

Cutouts enable you to reposition animation anywhere at any time, angle
or size. - It allows you to reuse parts of drawings and scenes and
even build a library of cycles, often-used characters and effects.

High Quality. PAP encourages the animator to work very roughly while
getting the timing right and then go over the drawings as many times
as you need to clean it up and perfect your animation.

PAP offers a blue pen for the rough work and a black pen for refining.
With a flick of a button, convert the black lines to blue and do
another refining pass. Clean it up in black and clear the rough blue
lines automatically.

Innovative User Interface.
A very important part of PAP is the extremely easy-to-use and simple
user interface. Every function has an icon. Enable only the functions
you need and hide the rest.

We find a quick workflow to be very important. This has made every
task in PAP simple, fast and easy to perform.

PAP:Pro is our top edition and suitable for studios, professional
animators and animation students, who are doing animation for film or
other high resolution media and/or want the best tools.
As a hobby animator or professional on a tight budget you will be
pleased to get your hands on PAP:Home. Both PAP:Pro and PAP:Home
include free point-upgrades (4.0 to 4.1, 4.2, etc) as well as online
support.

If you haven't got a budget at all, or just want to try your talents
in animation, PAP:Free is the one to go for. It offers unlimited usage
for absolutely free.

What ever your needs are - why don't you just try them all out for
your self
