This feature of Alias one probably the biggest hurdle in it's learning
curve. Coming from Lightwave to Alias, it is a BIG step in trying to handle
all these different parameters, each with it's own set of keyframes.
But there is no doubt that this is where Alias gets most of it's power.
So the question is really what Lightwaves aim is - is the aim to be powerful
or simple to use? Even the option to have both could be confusing.
I'd like to see the "more power" approach, but that's because I'm
familiar with the approach now ;). Today I was keyframing an animation
(on Alias) that had probably 10000 keyframes across 100 objects.. argh.
