Ahui showed me that site just the other day; that guy is wonderful. My
brain hurts.
I'd be very, very interested in seeing some tutorials on your animations,
Steve. I watched your entire Brickshelf animation collection a couple days
ago and was impressed.

As a matter of fact I have. However, due to the lack of documentation and
the not-so-userfriendly interface I stopped using it. I was never able to
produce anything with it, since there was no tutorial or anything on how to
produce the actual animation. I probably could have figured it out if I had
sat there and played with it for a while but I didn't have time to do that
at the time I was using it. I was getting some bugs, too.
I think the method used in LD4DModeler is a good one - it just needs to be
documented and refined a bit.
And in reply to all the other great suggestions...so far all I'm hearing
about has been created already. A viewer, a converter, a renderer...half
the work would just be integrating all these together, perhaps as a GUI
connecting the external programs or actually integrated.
And one other thing - Animation was never supposed to be simple. I don't
think complicated is a bad thing in a piece of software - it just has to be
clearly documented and user-friendly. :)
