Grady, I plan on uploading my objects into the Hash library, unless Steve wants set up an area just for objects and motions. I wouldn't worry too much about the skill level used for creating stuff. It's sort of like playing Gin Rummy. You can toss out a card, but you never know who has a need for it. Take the Revolving Sogn anim that I uploaded. The concept itself is not very innovative, but the way I created it is. AM itself is not designed to do an anim like that, but there is a way if you understand (or in my case, guess) how the application works. If you were to look at it, you would say, oh, all you have to do is this or that, but for most users, the first idea or two they might come up with to create something similar probably would not work. The point is, is that I think I found a way to create some objects that are not possible with the normal use of AM, but I don't know if anyone else has stumbled unto it, so I uploaded it in case anyone looks at it and says, hey, I tried to do something like that but couldn't figure it out.
