Autodesk Animator will premiere at SIGGRAPH '89. 
 
The newest product in the Autodesk family, a sophisticated desktop
animation program named Autodesk Animator, will make its debut in
August at the SIGGRAPH '89 show in Boston.  
 
The first program of its kind for PCs, Autodesk Animator will give
users an array of paint tools for creating individual frames for
video animation sequences. The frames can then be assembled into
movies using professional animation techniques provided in the
package.  
 
Because it can use AutoCAD Slide and AutoShade [320 x 200 x 256]
VGA render files, Autodesk Animator will be ideal for animating
design drawings to create vivid presentations.  
 
It will also be useful for a variety of other applications, from
business presentations to video production. The software, which
will cost less than $299, is designed to run on standard IBM PCs
equipped with 640K of RAM and VGA graphics.
