I love being in the Pixel Corps!
I first joined in December 2005, and have been a member ever since! Their forums for production and post-production are top quality, with a very high signal-to-noise ratio. Plus, their podcasts are the most informative I have heard for industry news, particularly This Week in Media.
But that's beside the point. My main cause of celebration is access to Toon Boom Digital Pro and training materials! I was recently looking at Toon Boom Studio as an alternative to Flash, after much dislike of Flash's interface (I've used Macromind Director, and want to remember as little of those days as possible). Just as my 30 day trial was running out, I noticed the Digital Pro software up at the Pixel Corps, and installed it immediately! They have licensed an Educational version which puts a Toon Boom watermark in the corner of the screen, but for practice and tests it will be brilliant.
Unfortunately, the course I plan to do requires Flash for it's 2D animation component. I wonder if they'll let me use Studio or Digital Pro instead...
Update: Digital Pro has a Personal Learning Edition available, so now there's no excuse not to give it a try!
