I've been trying here, but I'm new to ICE. The problem is with the construction stack, so i just draged the envelope to the simulation area. It doesn't work either, but deforms. I don't know where there could lead. just sharing a thought. [big thanks for all the knowledge of your podcasts! ^^] hei Lucas.

There's a few workarounds mentioned, but all take a bit of setup on your end. If anyone can come up with a different way of doing everything in one Ice tree in 2010, let me know and I'll post it.

I'm getting tired of using Google Translate all the time, there is a little WP plugin called like global translator which will render all your pages automatically- this would make reading articleson your great blog even more pleasant.

If you haven't seen it yet, check out my Learning Animation FAQ: http://blog.pigeonimpossible.com/?p=239 That talks about a few of the programs and what to focus on while you're learning. Unfortunately there isn't one specific program that does everything. I currently use around 10, and I still have to write a lot of my own tools to do the things I need. The best thing I can recommend is to just keep practicing and don't worry too much about the software. Its far more important to develop your own skills than to master a particular program. Good luck! Hi Maja, thanks for the comment!

I love your animation! I love making animations as well, although mine aren't very professional and detailed. I have them on youtube and they get about 1 view per week..And that is most likely my parents showing them to our friends. Well, anyway. When I am older I would like to work for an animation program, say Pixar..But before I am like 30, I would like to make mini detailed animations. I have alot of spare time, so I don't mind if it takes me a longtime. Could you please tell me any programs that you think are easy-ish to use and can make really great animations that are DETAILED? Please? Thanks alot and I love your animation. Maja Hi, my name is Maja and I am 10 years old. I love your animation!
