Hi there,
Just taken the plunge and purchased A:M after being awed by the demo video. Am now reading up on the forums and watching the supporting videos to try and get a feel for the software before it arrives.
I'm from the UK, and come to A:M from another 3D software. I'm a hobbyist game developer - I collect game engines and tinker with them. Haven't completed anything serious or substantial, but I have a fair few years of toying about with modeling and coding. I've recently taken more interest in the animation side of things, and A:M looks better than anything I'd anticipated. Spline modeling will be a new approach for me, but viewing the tutorial videos, it looks very intuitive. And the rigging! Can it really be that simple? I dont think I've ever watched a software demo that's had me coo-ing in appreciation until yesterday evening.
And there was me about to attempt the expensive hideously time consuming transition from one 3D software to another by the same company (which I really really didn't want to do) when I stumbled across A:M in one of those convoluted web searches that I dont think I could manage to repeat if I deleted my browser history. Delighted to have found A:M, and am very excited, both by the prospect of the software, and by the inspiring work in the forum posts I've read.
Anyway, I figured I'd better introduce myself, and say hello, as I expect I might be asking quite a few questions on the forums in the future.
Regards
Nick.
