This question has come up a lot. Here are the resources I am aware of: old resource (1991): AutoCAD 3D Design and Presentation / Bousquet & Hester New Riders Publishing / 800-428-5331 or 800-448-3804 (fax) This book primarily targets AutoCAD, 3D Studio, Renderman (yes, it's 4 years old… <sigh>… i feel so old>, AutoFlix (for a bit of Nostalgia even then) and Animator Pro. Only about 30 pages on it when used in flic postproduction (an important use still). classroom vtape resource: Autodesk Animator Pro / Paul Karius K Street Systems / 303-296-1211 or 303-296-6873 (fax) These video tapes basically do what the AniPro Tutorial manuals only live.. they cover basic animation principles, tools, inks, palettes, all 5 animation types and editing. interactive resource (1994): Animator Pro Techniques / Mark McGraw (ANI1) NAAUG Telecourse Program (free) / 415-507-6565 interactive resource (1995): Animator PowerUser / Mark McGraw (ANI2) NAAUG Telecourse Program (free) / 415-507-6565 interactice resource (1995): Introduction to POCO / Jerry Winston (ANI3) NAAUG Telecourse Program (free) / 415-507-6565 interactive resource (1995): Using 3DS w/ AniPro / Tammy Carpenter (3DS3) NAAUG Telecourse Program (free) / 415-507-6565 The North American Autodesk User Group offers telecourses for free, hoping that if you find them beneficial, you will support their continuation by' joining their organization for $35/yr. For full details on all telecourses, download file NTP03A.ZIP from ACAD forum Library 14. — of course, CIS AMMEDIA/Section 4 ain't too bad either. <ggg> Hope this helps. -dave Compuserve! your online tut

>> Nice List! << i had an offer this year to write a book on Animator Pro techniques (as you can see there really isn't much out there), but told the publisher i wasn't sure how long AniPro would continue to be supported. To my knowledge, as long as 3DS remains on DOS platform, Ani would ve invaluable. -dave
