This week in AWN's Forums, a junior member wants to know if Macs or PCs are the standard in the animation community. Another thread wants others to recommend good books on Flash. More debate continues on why the anime style of animation is becoming more and more influential on U.S. productions. There’s a new thread asking about tutorials on animating smoke, fire, explosions and water. A senior member wants to know what other members have done to promote peace and understanding in the world? Members discuss their questions and submissions to the Nicktoons Animation Festival. Others have started posting their thoughts about the passing of Disney legend Frank Thomas. As well as, tools for teaching animation, the business of animation and, as always, brand new stuff to check out in show and tell!
