Kevin, Just curious since I have never used a polygon-based modeler for 3D animation. When you say some of these guys are tired of the time it takes to create characters in a polygon modeler, are you refering to specifically to characters like human forms and animals, or does this include inanimate objects like cars, buildings, and spaceships. I have found that AM's lack of CSG functions (in some cases) turns a relatively simple 2-3 hour modeling job into a 8-10 day job. I am a very detail-oriented modeler, an although I love AM, the lack of CSG and some other modeling functions, added to the lack of F/X, I forcing me to look at switching to Lightwave when the Windows version is released. Until that time, however, I am continuing to create detailed models in AM and posting images here and in other forums, to let people see the detail that can be achieved with AM in the hopes of attracting as many users as possible to encourage 3rd party developers to consider creating F/X for AM.
