Hi Steve,
I just wanted to say a very big thank you for such wonderful software...I've been waiting for the update...my computer has not been playing nicely but it likes this anim8or version. I had surgery on part of my head 3 years ago and had been working on an abstract animation as a therapy from the event and then my computer said "no" ...but now says "yay" so now I can put my ideas together...thankyou again.
Quite a while back, I purchased Hexagon 2.5 from DAZ. I have worked with it, but like Blender, it seems to be hard to pick up. I'd made a couple of attempts, recently, to make a couple of different car models in Anim8or. They are, generally, failures, although two are "usable." I poked around the DAZ site this AM and found and purchased a tutorial for Hexagon about making cars. In the course of the four videos making up the tutorial, Hexagon must have crashed around ten times on the guy. Anim8or does crash on me on occasion, but not nearly that often. In fact, the more I work with Anim8or, the less it seems to misbehave. Also like to point out the guy had to use a "work around" to get his back ground drawings into Hexagon for his model, something that seems overly complicated in Blender, as well. Other words, Steve, you're doing good!
