AM is so damn cheap that it's kind pointless to have free versions?  For the price, you really can't beat it for all the kickass animation features that only the most expensive packages like XSI or Maya has.
A free version of Lightwave would be kinda cool though. I already have LW7, but it'd be cool for all the people that want to try it out. |

Wow. They ship it to you with training materials free of charge.
Wonder how long all this free'nes is going to last? Probably until someone cracks the Watermarks....
I've been using AM for quite a while now, and while it is by far the best animation program out there, I wish it had polygonal modeling tools.
Splines can be limiting and a pain in the ass sometimes. |
