“So…has anyone figured out a way to use HM without needing an IT degree?”
Well, I only have MOST of an IT degree, so until then I might be able to help out.
Step 1: Go here first, then scroll down until you find the circled link. It’s pretty much at the very beginning, just under the dragon picture:
Step 2: Follow that link, then download the Flash Player projector content debugger for whatever platform (windows, linux, mac) you’re using.
(I would have liked to link directly to the download page but HM forum wouldn’t let me)

“Hmm… I haven’t done any guys with visible faces; I should do one who’s not wearing any headgear!”
“Oh right, now I remember why that is”
Complaining aside, full character coming if I ever get a face I’m happy with
I think I like working with just flat colors better. The built in “shading” is nice sometimes, but with flat colors you can just kind of be more flexible with how you use shapes.
