Steve, I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. I have read all the file descriptions in the Hash library and downloaded many. I am trying to use inverse kinematics to animate BOB in AM. I was hoping to see an animation where BOB is doing something. He flops around all over the place when I try to control him. Is there a good animation of BOB that uses IK only. Most of the animations in your library are obviously done with spline motion, morphing and skeletal motion. None of the file descriptions say "inverse kinematics". I also would like to see an image that uses the materials–combine attributes, checker, noise etc. in color….maybe a series of lab series of balls with labels, but in color. The book's examples are black and white. What if I want to make a particular material? Where should I start? There are examples–so now I have to spend hours experimenting bl experimenting blindly with all kinds of parameters. Help!!!most materials are not made of wood grain or marble. Best wishes, Sanford

Unfortunately, at this time stuff like that has to come from other users work, so they have to upload it to the library…. we gave away everything we could royalty free as tutorial objects with the program….we have a big project we are working on now and when it's done all the models will also be available since Hash did the work, but for now…users! Let's start uploading! Steve, Hash Inc.
