Can the A:M Splash Screen or the little walk cycle animations that appear during rendering be replaced? I'd like to add my own original creations if possible.
I just thought I'd ask.
Thank you for your time.

Thanks guys! I sent Hash an email with my suggestions. I couldn't find the AM:Reports that Ken mentioned, so I sent an email to Hash Support. I hope it will find its way into the right hands.

Libraries will improve in direct porportion to the attention span of those that champion them.
What were we talking about again???
Now, seriously, I really do feel that more library options could really turn a good feature into a great one. Even a simple "sort by name" option like in windows favorites would be nice. I'm sure a bunch of people who were clever enough to create this wonderful program could easily add such options.
Does anyone else out there agree?

Thanks for your responses. I feel a lot less uneasy now. I apologize if I came off negatively earlier. While AM is relatively cheap when compared to other 3D programs, this is still the most I have ever spent on a piece of software in my life. I guess I just wanted to make sure I am getting what I paid for.
But enough about that! Now I just need to learn to use the darn thing!

Short answer, no. You did purchase A:M 2006 though.
Here's the long answer. The CD has the Yeti on it and is the A:M 2006 CD required to run the software through version 13.
Version 13 is in alpha right now and you should get the next alpha version as they are only operational for 60 or 90 days.
When will the final version 13 be out? This will be the REAL version of AM2006, right?
I also purchased what I thought was AM2006. I have the Yeti CD and my box also has the Yeti. on it I was sorely disappointed when I noticed it still says AM2005 everywhere. To be honest, I felt confused and a little bit cheated. If version 13 comes out late in the year, will I still be able to get updates in 2007? Will I get a new CD and a new manual, or will version 13 just be a download?
I love the program, don't get me wrong. I am trying hard to learn it. I just wish I had known beforehand I was actually getting "AM2005 with a future upgrade to 2006" instead of really getting version 2006. Then I would have probably waited before purchasing it.

Well, I used "find and replace" in wordpad to fix the AM2000 and AM2001 libraries, and the default library I just copied off the CD. So I think everything's fixed now.
I still with there was a better way to sort files and move them around in the library window itself in AM. Does Hash have any plans for adding features like this in the future?

I am using AM2006, the yeti CD. I downloaded the AM2000 & AM2001 files from the Hash FTP. I created a library file for AM2000 and gave all the models thumbnails. Then I was doing the same for AM2001. After spending a long time doing this, I noticed the "Vehicles\Land" folder was missing. Then, right before my eyes, the "Vehicles\Sea" folder disappeared as well. I went back and checked the AM2000 library and the same thing had happened there too! I panicked and closed AM quickly. When I reopened it and browsed my libraries, I found those folders as well as a couple of others had mysteriously relocated themselves into my "props\weapons\blade" library folder.
I have no idea what caused this to happen!
Is there any way to move entire folders around in the library so I don't have to go back and change each file individually? In the demo movie, the guy says AM works like windows does. Well, in Windows I can cut and paste my shortcuts, but I don't see any way to do this in the AM library window. I only see options to add new folders or shortcuts.
Can someone please help me? Thank you.
Can A:M be personalized?

Thanks for the quick replies! I kinda figured the answer was no, but thought I'd give it a shot. I know a 3ds Max user who changes his splash screen regularly to match whatever project he's working on. I guess that's one of the features he paid that extra $3000 for.
As for the walk cycles, I noticed that it changes from time to time, and just thought it'd be cute to see my own little fellows running around up there. It's not a big deal, because I'm still not a good enough modeller yet, anyway.
