It seems to be (finally) less archviz proposal in mind of AXYZ guys…I like it.

you’re so right. i paid for the program and got nothing but headaches. constant bugs, user-unfriendliness and crashes. also, non-existing support.

Exactly…Why would I purchase this again if it never worked in the first place? They should be giving previous customers half off.

Nevermind that, I see below that it’s free for previous customers. Good job AXYZ. Going to try it out…

Hi everyone. We assume all the mistakes on Anima1. That’s why we spent two years on writing this new version from scratch, with a completely revamped UI and a robust simulation engine. We invite you download and test the free trial at https://secure.axyz-design.com/anima-crowd-simulation-software-home Any feedback will be more than welcome. Thanks.

Let me follow up by saying that I have installed the new version and it’s already 1000 times better than the last one. It works and hasn’t crashed yet. Well done AXYZ.

Now I just need to get my license issue figured out.

Looks really good so far. Using custom characters is going to be great, especially for historic scenes. Import into Max works really well.
