Anyone using Hash Animation Master? Opinions? How is it for modeling? Rendering? Never hear much about it, and don't see any reference to it in any forums or tutorials here at renderosity... thanks.

I've used Hash. Texturing is great. Modelling is a nightmare and on top of that it's an unstable program. I worked with it constantly for months and never got satisfactory results trying to model realistic human figures. No matter how hard you work or how good you are, Zygote does a better job and their models are easier to work with. Hash is great to use to learn bones and the basics of advanced animation techniques but it is not a production tool.
