Is anybody using DMM willing to discuss some of the abilities of each package? I use Key Factory a bit and though it works great for most simple situations, I have been disappointed when I get to trying something complex. I looked at the new file uploaded to the IPAS lib. of DMM dropping "complex" objects down ramps like the KF demo and was not impressed by the motion at all. But I was convinced KF could do the same. It did, with a more realistic result, and the file is there if you wish to look at it. One thing I noticed is that DMM does it's rotation properly for use with motion blur. Key Factory use some strange calculation type for it's rotation so that objects spin almost 360 degrees (on some strange axis) between most frames. No good for motion blur! If anyone has used both packages, I would love to hear from you. TIA – Ron
