AnimationMentor.com, the online character animation school, has entered an exclusive agreement with 2D computer animation software company Plastic Animation Paper. Students actively enrolled in the school will be able to purchase Plastic Animation Paper Pro 4.0 at the highly discounted price of $199.00 USD. Plastic Animation Pro 4.0, which allows traditional animators to take advantage of computer power, normally retails at $ 830.00 USD.

Plastic Animation Pro 4.0 eliminates the need for line tests, cameras and scanners, enabling animators to draw directly onto a computer screen in video or film resolution using a drawing-tablet. Animators using Plastic Animation Pro 4.0 can quickly flip back and forth between frames and view their work at up to 60 frames per second. They can also see several layers of animations while flipping and drawing in real time. Plastic Animation Pro 4.0 runs on Linux and most Windows platforms. Animation Mentor Students can purchase the software upon joining the school via a special link in the Academic section of the site.

Bobby Beck, CEO/co-founder of AnimationMentor.com said, "Animation Mentor is committed to training great animators, whether they are working in 2D, 3D or stop motion. Plastic Animation Pro 4.0 is a terrific product for animators at all levels and it is great to have it available at such a terrific price."
