We could find another guy more easily since threads can go down quickly...

OK, Done.

Thanks, though I'm not sure how needed that was. There's not a whole lot of posting happening around here, and in theory we only need one more student.

Of course, it could be a place for future groups of five to collaborate.

Yea, I'd noticed that sometime ago, it's a linking error. It's pretty easy to fix though if you look at the file name. They both link to the order form for the standard edition OrderFormTVPA.pdf. Just open that and change it to OrderFormTVPAP.pdf (add a 'P' at the end).

I find it easier to just look at this one though: http://www.tvpaint.com/index.php?option ... &Itemid=77

Though it seems to be a little difficult to come across just going through the site. So many different currencies in use here, estimate the cost at about 200 Euros per person.

Thank you

So ? Someone was interested ?

my demo was really bad

I need to plan it more carefully and record it next time. Probably next week since it is the end of the term at school.

Nice that you made an effort though, good luck with the next demo.

I asked around my school but it's mostly 3d so I didn't have any luck. I believe one of the Professors talked with TVPaint about possibly getting it for the school at some point, but that doesn't help us out too much right now.

So come on, just one more person...

Meh. I can wait a little longer....I guess

Too bad nobody around me is interested in 2D (nor 3D....)

I'd hope that it doesn't take a great deal longer to find a fifth...

Maybe if we can't get one, TVPaint would allow us to buy it in a group of 4?

I can only afford the light version though. The Pro is a bit too high for my needs (animatics, storyboard, 3d animation planning)

dibs?

Dibs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dibs (also known as bags, bagsy, or bagsie) is a common convention used primarily in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Ireland by friends or siblings to reserve or declare full or partial ownership of a community resource, such as a chair or communal food. Claiming Dibs on the front seat of a car is called "Calling Shotgun."

[edit] Outside of the United States

In the United Kingdom and Ireland "Bagsy" (or "Bagsie" or "Bags" or "Bugsy") is used to the same effect, although "dibs" is also used on occasion. Bagsy or bags started out as "Bags I", according to the Oxford English Dictionary which gives school-related examples from 1866 onward. Similarly, bag or bags can be used informally as a verb meaning claim in a phrase like "I'll bag the best seats". This is related to bag meaning to 'put something in a bag'.

In New Zealand and Australia the word "bags" is used to the same effect. "Bagsy" and "dibs" are used occasionally with the same meaning. When calling bags, one will not usually include the word "on" - "Bags ____ing" is used in the case of verbs, and "Bags the ____" in the case of nouns. Bags is of particular use in opting out of an undesirable task, when saying "Bags not me" before anyone else in the group will exclude one from having to do that task. Young children often use bags in this way in the song "Turn around, touch the ground, bags not me!".

In Canada, rules for "dibsing" in or out of something generally follow the same regulations as in the United States.

In Mexico, the word "pido" (to ask for) is commonly used by children to the same effect. In some parts of Mexico City, the word "changán" (no actual meaning) is used and it can also be used as a verb "changanear".

ah ok... i see

I got a PM from Mishix there, they've got themselves on the list to. Right now I'm just trying to get the required information from the people on the list so I can send it to Patrice.
