That, and the whole distinction between skin, scales, and (one other mode 
whose name I forget). You know,s o like the scales on the moving fish don't 
distort but just rotate in place when the "flesh" underneath turns?

They seem to have buried any sort of tutorials since last I was there, so I 
can't easily find the bit to show you visually what I mean.

That gets kind of lame, yes. Altho I'm pretty sure you can key several items 
to the same IPO curve in Blender.

That's cool. I never got quite that far with Hash. I was hoping that if I 
paid for a commercial product, it would be more polished than a free one.

Doesn't the old version run indefinitely, tho?  I'm pretty sure I didn't see 
anything about the software expiring in the license or I wouldn't have 
bought it.
