Looking for some students

Hey, we all know that TVPaint is a pretty awesome program, but a little expensive for those of us with the more limited income (i.e. students). TVPaint is of course kind enough to sell non-limited educational versions, which while significantly cheaper than the full version, are still pricey. The 5-seats version takes care of this, making the price very reasonable when split amongst 5 people.

...of course, the problem is finding 4 more people who want to do it. Most other students I've asked only want really cheap 2d animating programs or 3d ones. So, I thought I'd propose it to the TVPaint forums, any students around here who want to get together and get a 5-seats version? We get 5 dongles and one CD, which we're allowed to make 4 copies of.

Edit: Oh yes, I'm referring to TVPaint Pro, for clarification.

I am up for it but I am not sure it works this way.

You mean you think everyone has to be together in the same place? I'm not sure either, but I sent them an e-mail about it and it seems at least worth trying.

You happen to know of any other students? Still need three more.

Dang....I'd be interested but arent there restrictions ?

If so, what are the missing features ?

stiletto · Post by **stiletto** » 09 Mar 2008, 18:20

No missing features, no restrictions. It's just like a full version, you just need to be a student to get it. The only difference is the CD. We get 5 dongles and one CD, which we're allowed to make 4 more copies of, so the CD you get will be a burned version. It will still be 100% legal and a full version of TVPaint though.

Still interested?

Heck yes !

How do I prove my "studency?" (hope this word exists

)

Oh and I live in Canada, is it problematic?

stiletto · Post by **stiletto** » 10 Mar 2008, 20:30

Nope, Canada actually makes it easier because it all has to be sent to one place. My being in the US means that that it's cheaper for me to send you your dongle and CD.

To prove your student status you would either need to scan/fax your student ID, or a letter from your school saying you're a student there.

Do you have an e-mail that I can contact you with?

If everyone is still for going forward with this, that means we only need one more person.

Heh....that's one short post.

stiletto · Post by **stiletto** » 10 Mar 2008, 21:22

Okay, awesome.

One more, just need one more, and then we can all start consorting to get the software.

This is working out better then I thought. But still, people saying on a forum post that they'd like to do it and actually paying are two different things.

Wow that's amazing...1 400$ was too expensive for me but now i can get it for about 300 bucks...amazing.

At school we will use TB Harmony and, even if I'm proud of my country's technology, bitmap is much more interesting than vector IMO.

Now show yourself, you remaining student !

Mmh...Could this thread be sticky for a while ?
We could find another guy more easily since threads can go down quickly...
