Yeah, you can't output any animation you do on it though, gawddd damnit. Not even with tricky stuff like pringint out your anim curves and it won't let you write to an external file, damnit! However, good if you're just looking to toy around with the software and learn it, but you won't be able to transfer it to othe

MangoHave you ever wanted to learn another language? Almost all of us have, but it's one thing to say that you want to learn another language, and it's an entirely different thing to actually follow-through and achieve that goal.
