Dear Rick: Batch files count in this case. It's not rocket science. In fact, I have to say that the keyscripter is one of my favorite 3D Studio features. When I first got R4 I shied away from it. If I hadn't been writing a book and needed 3 chapters to fill, I think I would have never taken the time to figure it out. The words "C data structures" used early on, put me off. But, as it turns out, C data structures are the coolest thing since sliced bread. Really. You can assign all the information for a single key to one variable. It makes scripting a breeze. Yes, EDSMAC data can be ASCII data. That's how it comes into spreadsheets (at least in my experience). You know, spend a three days mastering the keyscripter and you become the 'wonder-man' of forensic animation. Not a bad career move. I really don't think you'll find keyscripting hard if you do forensic animation for a living. Its actually much harder to do forensic animation without the keyscripter (roll, spin and yaw simultaneous rotations on a single vehicle (i.e. plane or car)). Take a chance…. Cool? N.
