My name is Tom Head aka Headtoon aka h3adlin3, and I’ve been using Synfig for a couple of years now. I haven’t joined the forums until now because I didn’t have a decent internet connection until recently. And just so you know my posting habits are to post a lot for a few days/weeks then be quite for moths on end, it’s just the way I am.
I found Synfig while searching for an affordable alternative to the lower end animation software out there. After using Anime Studio I got tired of having to jump through hoops to use software I actually paid for. Then I found Synfig through Google and I’ve been using it since. I’m a great fan of the open source movement although my coding abilities are decidedly beginner++.
I just love the idea of a group of people from all over the world who share a common interest getting together and creating something amazing that anyone can use.
I’ve got some animations and one tutorial on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/h3adlin3
So thanks for Synfig, and I hope to be able to add to the project and forums.
