- Sounds like you're going to be busy!
-
- You may find that other people are more willing to modify and
- compile those scripts though...
-
- It seems to me that the best idea would be that bml-rt was made
- commercial (or shareware) with a much lower price. Bob should get
- paid for his work by those who benefit, users shouldn't have to
- pay for development tools that they aren't going to use.
-
- There are lots of good animators who don't know one end of a
- computer from another, let alone know how to program, and more and
- more will be using CGI in the near future. I'm sure "Toy Story"
- will have a big effect, being the first mainstream example of "real"
- animation using digital tools.
