You have to first setup the animation in Shade after import. Default Guy had a good answer on it: http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=1914109 - Noel

As someone who has used Rhino for a bit, I can say I am impressed with Shade. The interface is a bit different, but once you learn it I like it. And some things are very easy in Shade :) But each program is going to make different people happy. Look how many people like Amapi ! - Noel

You're welcome :) I'm hoping to have more soon! - Noel

Later today I will have a couple of tutorials up :) This is fun! - Noel

The camera controls are actually very easy to use. And you can make your own camera "views" with different settings. Dynamic Cloth and material rooms seem to work, they just mentioned dynamic hair but then again Vue has the same issue with dynamic hair (not sure what the issue is). - Noel

I had the manual printed out (it was a pdf due to download) and I've been going through it. So far very well written. Good examples and for the most part very clear. I'm only on page 110 of 459 so far :) But I can say it isn't your normal dry, put you to sleep with techno jargen type manual. - Noel

Yes it can import full animations. The only limit is dynamic hair. - Noel

Handled excellently! Thanks again! - Noel

I left a message at Curious Labs about this, but I thought someone might see it faster here :) I purchased 2 copies of shade basic at Siggraph for the 200+ price. Now I see on the website that I qualify for the "You own Poser Price". If the items haven't been shipped yet, canceling my order would be the easiest way to handle it and I'll order/dl online. If they have been shipped how do we handle this? - Noel

That is a seriously nice model! - Noel

Thanks for the crossposting :) I didn't realize there was a printing forum (have to learn to look better) As for the terminology, it can be a bit daunting at the very begining but you'd find fairly quickly that the printing terms are very similiar to the ones used in pretty much all graphic setups :) Just think of it this way. You make a cool picture, and using this process you can put it on things other than just paper :) - Noel

It isn't a brand new process, but the costs are becoming very inexpesive to start. Basically what it does, is take dye and transfer into your blank. Such as a mousepad or a coffeemug or many other things. The resulting dye transfer is a permanent transfer. It won't wash off, is scratch resistant etc. People are using it in amazing ways :) Anything from things you would expect like mugs and mousepads to coating sides of a computer case and printing pictures on it :) Come on over to the website, I think you will get a grasp of it. I would love to hear from someone that has no experience in this process. Feedback on if our articles are understandable to the lay person would be great, we want this to be as approachable as possible to someone that has never experienced it before.

You have a broken link on your example page, the codex doesn't seem to be there for PC. - Noel

Wow! I must say this is excellent advice! I just changed the file from ImageIO_Mac.mrw to ImageIO_Mactemp.mrw and now my folders are screaming! Amazing how legacy code like this sticks around a program. - Noel

I asked CL that very question, and they said it is the same product and can also still be upgraded using pro pack. - Noel
