Who has Studio/1?

[Mu0n]

Olden black and white animation software from Electronic Arts. See an old scan from a magazine with a screenshot and a general tour of it:

I remember this product.  I used to know one of the authors of the excellent Studio/32, Henri Lamiraux (he later got a job at Apple and was briefly my boss there when I was a lowly intern, much later became head of iOS software I believe).  The UI was similar, I wonder if he wrote Studio/1 also.

Anyway, sadly I don’t have it.

The download link at that archived page doesn’t work.  The Garden deleted Studio/1 years ago at the behest of Electronic Arts, it seems.  Thus Muon’s query, I gather.

Yeah, I'm aware of the copyright smackdown by EA about this dinosaur of a software. I just want to inquire about what I could be missing out, possibly work out a purchase deal, or just borrow it for a time.

It could have been in this Jan 2019 backup of MacGarden in archive.org

but alas, no.

Welp, found it!

Please PM me if you'd like a vtools account to share this with!

Right now, the software share isn't really ready yet, but people have been putting stuff on the public share. (This goes for anyone who wants to be able to access the software and public shares as well!)

It's gonna go back up in the Mac Garden shortly (gotta go through approval process).

I'm excited to use it because it comes recommended straight away in chapter 0 of "Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus" of 1995 as a way to easily produce divisible-by-8 sized PICT files that can serve as Sprite animation frames. Doing it raw in MacPaint would involve a lot of fidgeting and positioning.

For posterity and for those seeking potentially hard to find softwares, here's where I found it while searching for the old mac garden .sit filename. I knew my last bet was to snatch it from a large collection, either in a ftp or a curated mass backup.
