< Hello. I am currently using Alias Sketch! for modelling / rendering, and would like to be able to take my models from Sketch! and animate them.> It depends on what kind of animation you want to do, and how complex the models are. Unfortunately, I haven't yet used Sketch! so have no experience with moving models created from Sketch! into MM3D or anything else. The two animation programs I use the most are Infini-D and MM3D. I like the way MM3D animation is created - I think it's a lot easier to create complicated animation with Ease In and Ease Out etc, then it is in Infini-D. However, MM3D I find gets bogged down and rather slow when you have complex models. You want the fastest Mac you can get with the most memory. Infini-D, I think, performs better, but the animation is key frame based, and so I find it harder to create fluid stuff. If you've got the bucks, you might want to look at Electric Image, which is similar to MM3D in the way you create animations, but performance is better (but you could buy a Quadra for the difference in price!) ******************************************************************** System: fourd.com Phone: 617-494-0565 Cute quote: Being a computer means never having to say you're sorry ********************************************************************
