Xtranormal is currently working on a “school safe” version of their film maker that will make this a more appropriate tool for our students. Please check out this product and watch for the updated version for our students! They are specifically working on an EDU Safe version that would allow schools to use their own servers for the rendering space, since that is what costs the most, and would give a massive discount for schools. They may even make a free school version with very limited characters for a smaller rendering time.
