Quick Help...

I'm planning to make some custom scenery using Anim8er.

Can somebody give me a link to Anim8er and maybe a link to a tutorial on how to use it? (BTW is it free?)

Thanks in advance! ;)

JayAC, if you need any help, feel free to ask me. I've been using anim8or for quite a while now and know how most everything in it works. It's a great program thought, mostly because it's FREE! :)

I don't really get how you put patterns and stuff onto your shapes. Please help if you can!

I can make the shapes, that is fairly easy. But putting patterns and stuff on them is what I'm getting a bit confused about.
