Anywhere that teaches online courses for this? I know the book is great, but I'm more of a hands on learner and have a better chance of talking the wife into letting me spend more hours on the computer if I was taking some kind of online course with a video feed from the instructor.

That is awesome. Could you please provide more detail (maybe in a new post) on how you went about that? Is is possible using other photo software, or is this a "Photoshop only" type thing? I'm new to AM but have been using image editing software for a while. I would feel a lot more comfortable doing what you just did and then manipulate the model.. Seems like you just cut out HOURS of work to me.

There is also The Gimp for an open source Photoshop alternative. This one is Linux, Windows, and MacOS X.

It's great to link to a thread that provides the answer. But when the link is to a thread with a link, to a thread with a link.. It's a bit much.

Rodney, Ouch.. that hurts.. Can I get some ice for my marbles? I saw the A:M Veggie Tales videos available on the FTP site and thought it was what they used. I mean.. they looked identical to what I remember seeing on TV (the test one, I have MythTV so now I will have to compare).. Oh well.. I still have two cars with Hydros.. you can't take that away from me. (I had the same feeling buying A:M as I did when I drove home the first time with hydraulics installed in my car.. Disbelief that I actually own it.) BTW, my name is James.

I'm new.. really.. So you can just send the next prize to me. I'll take pictures and share it with the others.. if that helps.

Being that I was fingered as a newbie.. I thought I might as well pad my post count with a post here.. I purchased the software for a new company I started for presentations and probably eventually commercials, if I make it that far. Hopefully my skills will be 1/10 of what I have seen people here creating.. Though, I'm sure they won't be near as fun. I still can't believe I own the software VeggieTales used.. Having a 3 year old son and 1 year old daughter, it's one of my favorite shows to watch with them.
