The = great thing about it is when you're struggling to figure out the best = way to approach something, you can post a question and usually within = hours someone from Maxon has not only answered the question but put up a = scene file or two illustrating different possible ways of doing it. = They've offered to help me troubleshoot my scene files as = well.

FXPHD is = good as well.
