I finally solved the problem, by repeately closing the program then opening it again and trying to load the fortress, finally on the 6th or 7th time it finally came up for me.. maybe just a quirk in my program. I followed the tut untill it got to the part where it said "Time Spline Editor", then I got completely lost.. I have no idea where to find that editor. I got so frustrated that I moved on to the animating a fish tutorial, once I got the basics of that down, I moved on to animating a dinosaur neck got that down pretty well, a few breaks but I think that comes with experience. I didnt realize that a simple movement of the neck going down and back up would rack up 25mgs of space and that was at almost the smallest rendering. I am going to have to study up on decreasing the mgs big time. I have only had the program a bit over a week now and already my manual is beginning to look "well used"
