Toon boom studio 93/27/2023 Toon Boom should really start to think about the way they do business – not supplying a manual with software of this nature is just plain ignorant. And lastly the customer service, although not as expedient as toon boom - they took a whole day to respond!!!, was none-the-less outstanding. If any cares to try it out – it can be found at and the software is entitled Mirage Studio v 1.5a. It does require a usb dongle (after the trial expires)… but a friend of mine says that this can be disabled, as he is using an earlier version of the same software… they also give educational discounts. It outshines toonboom without a doubt, it is much easier to use, understand and get started (although this may be due to the manual being supplied!). Well, not to worry, I located a much better animation software (it is a little more expensive) it comes with a manual in the trial version (30 day) which is a plus, the hardware requirements are about the same, it is also supplied with a getting started pdf which was, too, very nice. Thirdly, I think customer service is terrible, although they were very prompt in responding, because when I inquired about a manual they wanted me to purchase a $40 manual, even though I was not sure or whether or not the software would meet my needs. I found it difficult to use, understand and without a manual, impossible to truly try out to any degree, which was a disappointment in itself. Secondly, the software did not meet my needs or maybe the learning curve is just too steep (especially without a manual). Firstly, I still think the software is standing on editorial blurbs and brags from the company who markets it. I recently posted with regards to toon booms policy of charging separately for program & manual… I did however try out the trial version, and several others as I was in the market for animation software.
