Hello Ed, I saw several fantastic uploads from you concerning Animator Pro. Can you suggest me some good literature about this package because I find that the manual is not so good. Or can you explain me some more secrets you discovered in making your animations?? Thanks in advance, Emmanuel

There are several books on Animator Pro's predecessor, Animator, which might still be available in bookstores. The publishers have said they're out of print, but forum members have reported seeing them. Examples: Best Book of Autodesk Animator, Inside Autodesk Animator, Using Animator. I believe there may even be a set of video tapes for learning Animator, but I have looked through my records and don't see it mentioned. Perhaps I was wrong. Nik

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I get very little (hint, hint!). Which of my FLCs have you looked at? The following FLCs have information on specific techniques (do a library search using "KELLERMAN" as the KEYWORD): -Flag Rendering (Uploaded this AM) -Color Cyc. How To. -Plants Swaying in the Wind. "How To" If you want to see more examples, the following are my most popular updates (and their score – a geometric average of the number of requests times the 1/4 power of their size): 984 Plants swaying in the wind. "How to" 874 Simulation of 3D Waves with AniPro 1.3 770 3D Lava Flow (in 4 frames) 673 Sloshing Water 589 Bugs! 586 Fractal Tree #2(small) 512 Bucket Brigade 502 Fractal Tree #2 Note: This is the full-size version of Fractal Tree #2 small 470 Fractal Island #2. The above list does not include newer uploads, since they have not been available long enough to have been requested a significant number of times. Some FLCs that should be in the list are not because I didn't do a good job describing them. The following fit these categories: CIM World Space Tunnel 13 Meg of Gold Sea Plant Fractal Pyramid I will review my private mail, and past messages. to extract information that could be of value to you and post it later. Please keep me informed of how you are doing. And, don't hesitate to ask for more help, preferably through public messages, so that others can benefit.

Ed… I've been following your work since you started with AA, and I just wanted to let you know that it's been appreciated. You definitely have won the award here for the most prolific 2D animator! (and 2D is the tough stuff that requires REAL talent! 🙂 Thanks for all the contributions.. – G
