Thanks to both of you!

This is the first time the school is teaching this course. It was an administrative error that did not get us the required software in time. We will be using 3ds Max and Storyboard ArtistV4. As I'm sure you know, Maya's home company (Alias) was bought out by 3ds Max'x home company (Autodesk). Although 3ds Max 9.0 was just released, we are setting up to start out with 8.0 because the contract was already negotiated. Also, I believe 3ds Max is slightly easier to learn...although not by a lot. I plan to use Alice because, until I get the other software later in the semester, I have very little to take up their time in the lab portion of the course. One can only jump up and down so long about game design documents...don;t you know.

Thanks,
Rick
