Just a note to say that I love this program. I have gotten to the point where I'm creating some nice, complicated animations and I finally realize the power of this program. Anything I can envision, it can do. It's taken a few months to really get comfortable with it, and I'm no expert by any means, but my animations are looking really good these days. I'm working on a project that has full screen animations and I'm using AA Pro for them. When the boss saw what they looked like, she approved the purchase of one copy for the office. Do me a favor, Autodesk: do not, I repeat, DO NOT abandon this program. I realize it hasn't been updated in a very long time and that has me concerned. Is AA working on a Win 4.0 version, and if so, will the upgrade be affordable for those of us that don't have deep pockets? I just sent in the Poco Pack offer and can't wait to get it.

Maura, I've been watching your evolution based on your questions and recent contributions to the threads. Glad to hear that you aren't a 3d neophite anymore :-). << Is AA working on a Win 4.0 version, and if so, will the upgrade be affordable for those of us that don't have deep pockets?>> Company line… Autodesk does not discuss future products, prices, features or shipdates. << I just sent in the Poco Pack offer and can't wait to get it. >> Jump into the Animator message and library section. There's a growing group of POCO programmers there and the've uploaded a number of POCO routines. jonas[adesk]

I think it's pretty safe to say that Autodesk IS going to be putting out some sort of AniPro update one of these days (based on their hiring of Jim Kent away from The Yost Group, and from a survey call I got from Autodesk one day about my feelings about online documentation for AniPro, and from Autodesk's interest in Mr. Kellerman [at least at one time — how did that work out, Mr. K?]). But I doubt that you'll hear any more than that until they announce a release date. Dave
