Hello everybody,
After a long, long time away, I still haven't been able to shake my interest in Animation Master. I first purchased the software ... ohhh ... probably a good 10 to 15 years ago. I've tried several times to get up to speed with AM in the past but always have stopped due to frustration ... a good deal from trying to get through the tutorials only to see my computer lock up or crash (or something) before I could ever finish any of them. Or I would get lost when what I saw on the computer screen wasn't the same as what the book was telling me I should see. But as you see, I'm still here. Now that I have a new computer (Macbook Pro), I hope to give it another go, but first I want to wade through a few of these forums to kind of get my feet wet again.
My background is a mixture of computer programming, commercial art and computer graphics (and a little bit of architectural model-building). For what it's worth, I have about 10 year on Rodney.
At one point I hoped to make animation or computer modeling a career, but at the point of life I'm at, I think I'll settle for it being a fun hobby.
I would like to also mention that I belong to an AM group that meets in Chicago once a month ... although I probably haven't attended a meeting in a good 2 years due to not being an active participant. The Chicago group is awesome though.
Anyway ... hello all ... for starters, I look forward to exploring the different forum areas.
