and the temporary home of the AM98 study class:

Join us in studying and applying the constraints setups developed by Steph Greenberg from the publication :

Character Animation in Depth by Doug Kelly

: Check out our Syllabus

Unlike this opener, which is set up to ease long downloads for our international friends paying for toll calls ;), much of this site is intended to be fairly graphics heavy. Pick and choose what you would like to visit by either selecting subjects from the bottom frame or contents from the side frame.

So welcome, --you wouldn't be here uninvited, so we appreciate that you took the time to come by. This is not a professional site, however, so keep that in mind as you check things out.

Who we are:

What is this Animation: Master 98 class?-- we are the people who got together to study modeling techniques with James Poulakos, and we proudly refused to disband when the class was over. A group decision was made to study the constraint setups as devised by Steph Greenberg--and there you are.

Our new purpose was born. :)

We are a collection of hobbiests, amateurs, and professionals studying 3d modeling using Animation: Master98 and animating techniques, and working together to learn together.

We are not affiliated in anyway with Animation: Master 98, Hash. Inc., Steph Greenberg, Doug Kelly, or any book publishers.

We are just a widely varied group of people working together to improve our skills in using the great 3D software product: Animation Master 98 Join us!
