Hi Laurie – Well that was quite an introduction!! Fairly rare for someone to join and then type in all caps that "the level of animation here is so bad that it gives you bad dreams" (all caps is considered shouting and bad form). Instead why don't you offer some constructive criticism or show how you do things better. That will give you a lot more positive feedback when you put up some examples of your work for all to see. You will post your superior work of course ??? For all to view?? Hope your stay here in AMMEDIA and ASHOWCASE is a constructive one and that you can join in the give and take on software in a postive or teaching manner. Lots of world class animators here to learn from. Anne

Anne, I took a look at the message about "bad animation." It would seem that someone so much better at animation than 80% of the people on this forum should show her work and tell us how it is all supposed to be done. I wonder if this person earns her living from animation? Curious, Sanford

FYI Lourie, There are many Pros on this forum. Many of their work will blow you away. The stuff you see here is mostly to demonstrate or direct others to use an IPAS or an effect (usually something simple). And there are bad animations and new animators as well (they don't shout), but all are focused in a positive way. Many are new to animation and display their work to get some in-put from other experienced users. Anne is right why don't you display your work here so that I can learn more or just go back to your so called "favorite software". I can only speak for myself. Some of my work is broadcasting as I write this message and none of them are here in the forum to see, but if someone wanted to learn, I would upload a simplified version of it so my message gets across to them. -Kouros.

Hi Laurie, I'll continue to swap some mail with you. There are lots of wanna-bee's here but there are a few World-Class animators present. Their work can be seen in films such as Johnny Nmonic, Virtuoscity, and games like Rebel Assault and the 7th Guest. Where are you located???? Lee

Laurie, There might be some not so good animations in this forum, but to make most of the best animations are way too huge to send over the modem. I have one that's over 100 meg and split into 5 parts. So, let's see what you can do with 3DS and a 14400… – Neil 102226,3566

Laurie – Your library file uploaded to ASHOWCASE Forum needed a bit of description rewriting which I took the liberty of doing so that the file could go public as soon as possible. I changed it from ANNE.GIF to CAMPBELL.GIF and added that it was done with 3DS as we require the Autodesk products used to be mentioned. Below is the file description as it looks now. Let me know if you want any changes or additions. The work is excellent and unusual. The writers and developers of many of Autodesks 3D programs and manuals hang out here so know you will enjoy interacting with them. Anne
