The story command won't do non-linear motion, such as gravity. Story just moves the object the same amount from frame to frame, while an object under acceleration from gravity moves a little from 1 to 2, a little bit more from 2 to 3, and even more from 3 to 4, and so on. As far as I know, there is no way to make story do this kind of motion. If you NEVER use the stereo feature in TSilver SV, it is worth the upgrade. The improved quality of the Solid Model alone is worth it. Some people don't do full traces anymore, it is that good. And the upgrade is just $30.00, cheap at twice that amount. I also have Sculpt 3D XL, which was an $80.00 upgrade. Turned out it was, in some respects, a step backward from the old version, and the Scan Line mode just does not compare with the Tsilver Solid model mode, not even in the same ball park. Although I must admit the object editor is still superior, I am getting used to the TSilver object editor. Send me a cell or a rendered picture (in IFF) if you don't mind. They couldn't be worse than mine.
