 One of the great CG apps August 21, 2007

I've been an A:M user for probably 10 years now. I've used it for school, I've used it professionally and I've used it as a hobby. If you're an artist who want to make his/her own characters and animate them, this is a superior package. One of the great things about it is its unified workflow. The modeler, the rigger, the lighter, the animator, the renderer, all live in the same program and all work well together. I'm not saying A:M makes all of those automatic. Such a program just does not exist. But there is no better workflow for 3D animation than exists in A:M.
The all-spline modeling is a somewhat different strategy than polygon apps use and that's where most people who come from them to A:M get confused. They're trying to use lame polygon techniques that are really awkward workarounds rather than using splines to their real advantage.
Animating in A:M is something the other apps can only wish they did as well.
If you're coming to CG with the notion that all that great imagery you've seen in movies is the result of a computer program and not the ingenuity and hard work of talented humans then you will be disappointed with any CG app. Something that just offers you some premade choices with a few variations, like Poser, might be a better for you.
But if you're person with a story idea that you'd like to get off that storyboard you've been dreaming up and get in front of people, A:M is a really strong tool for making that happen.

AWSOME!
I have had the software and I can't express how much it helped me learn how to animate. I came into the animationg world only knowing what keyframe and motion capturing meant. Now, well... I am not Pixar, but I am almost there.
It has exited unexpectantly a few times, but otherwise is very stable.
If you can get the demo do get it, but I didn't know there was one until I got the software.
Bottom line: GREAT SOFTWARE
