Hey Mark, >>Yes I but when I buy software that costs a lot of money I try my best to see if other people think it's a good package or not. << That's a good point, Mark, but what alteratives do I have? Go back to DAS? or maybe Dr. Halo? Remember Dr. Halo? God, I hated that package, (but at least it worked) :). Anyway, Mark, I'm not here to make enemies, I just want the problem resolved. I remember when I first was thinking of getting 3DS; people ware telling me, "Oh, don't get that, it's crap", or, "It's too expensive, get something else". In my opinion, 3DS is the best 3D animation package for PC. People always have an opinion of software and the only way to be sure if it's any good is to try for yourself. Believe me, I tried it the hard way. I know what you might say, "Well some people may like AAS and your opinion means sqwat"… My only response to that would be for anyone and everyone who thinks AAS is acceptible and is acually producing work on it to come forward and tell us how. I would like to hear your opinions. My personal experience involved attempting to draw one frame of an animation then moving the image over a bit because it was off center. The result was a system error and my entire computer froze-up. I couldn't even 'ctrl-alt-del' it was that bad. Not giving up faith, I tried again, only resulting in a crash once more. Getting fustrated, I attempted again, being more patient and not making any cuts or moves. Things were going well when all of a sudden I get this 'FLIPPER' thing and the program crashes again. What burned me up is that I didn't save my work. So I wasted half a day's work and no results but me getting pissed off. Well Mark, there you have it. My little story. I hope you can see my position here. Take it easy, Juan An animator
