Just some comments on Animator Pro. Of extreme use to me is the ability to use poco programs to write custom operations. This is of particular use for artificial life type programs which I send to video tape. I hope such a programming tool will be present in Animator Studio. Now the frustration with APro. I constantly use the render to tape approach in 3D Studio to avoid filling up disk space and to allow for "week long" animation to tape sessions without interruption. I would be very happy if animator pro (or its subsequent release) would render directly to video tape without disk and flitape operations. Thanks for your products, Mike

Mike, I too am a fan of POCO. My students use it all the time. The show 'Em program is super. I hear it will not be in the new release. That's unfortunate. I vote to keep poco.

Pat, It's good to hear that others find the flexibility of using one's own programming can multiply the uses of an already sophisticated program. -Mike
