Pawel,
I am a PowerMac user and also LOVE the fact that A:M opens so fast. Yes it took
a little while to find the interface quirks that conflict with the Mac. Most
Mac programs do not depend upon the path to the file, they internally refer to
the "file number", thus allowing the user to move the file and rename the file
at will, A:M doesn't allow either. It also has a problem with file names that
have spaces in them, you just can't do it.
The skin thing is a little wierd, BUT it allows you to do it with objects that
were NOT created with the cross section tool, UNLIKE Strata and, from what
users have told me, 3DS. In strata, you can band an object ONLY if it was
created with the cross section tool, AND to bend it you have to first unskin
it. I much prefer A:Ms method!
And the ASCII file format is great, it will hopefully allow third parties to
add to it.:)
Gotta Go! Jim Jonah
