I haven't tested.Maybe I'll do in some days, gab. I think though, that CAT plugin for Max is one of the nicest thing around for animation. I suppose it's expensive, but maybe not, And certain highend 3d anim pros I know tell me is all what should be CS. I can animate averagely well in CS and Max, indeed, been part of my work lately, in game jobs. But I know cs has quite some weird things that it shouldn't have and it has certainly room for improvement. there's where something like cat could win. yet though, once again, xsi was better solution for me. But if you aim to not complex stuff, that's then the worst way. So maybe animanium is not bad idea. have you guessed if you can export as x ? if not, is not of much use...
