Yeah, I've played around with it and found out that it simplifies much of the worries of animating in any other software. You're creating and animating 2-D drawings in what is actually a 3D space (although you don't have to concern yourself with the whole 3-axes thing) and panning a camera around your cartoon set with everything in place, and it already calculates perspectives and how perspectives change with the camera motion.

Additionally, it runs off the same tween-motion animation method that Flash offers, but will automatically smooth out the animations from one keyframe to the next (and has several different ways of smoothing it out that you can choose from) along with built-in particle engines for special effects, easier-to-manipulate vector-based graphics, and the project sizes are relatively small even for a large-scale project.

So anyway, now that I'm done sounding like a commercial, I'm really happy with it and need to get off my lazy ass and start making something with it just to get my feet wet while I plan a full-length production.

Umm, you evidently haven't kept up with my updates. I've been scoring the BMB Finishes film "The Hero of Time", NOT the IGN trailer that was the April Fool's joke.

If you look up "Hero of Time BMB Finishes" on YouTube, you'll see the 2006 trailer that they had released, although I didn't start scoring the soundtrack until last summer.

Trust me, I haven't been scoring music for the past 16 months to an April Fools joke.
