Re: 3D renderer / animation software

Re: 3D renderer / animation software

FYI

I just saw a Visual PC demo with 3dMax running on it.  Not only was the
Visual PC an awsome tool........  3Dmax's fully loaded version blew away
anything that I have ever seen the maya do except the camera tracking Maya
Live has. I am sure that this is why you now see Maya sold at $7,500
compared to a fully loaded special effects package of 3D MAx R2 at
$5,800.00............Kinetix and Descreet Logic are One company now and they
have a Editing System out that blows AVID off the MAp all around and is Half
as much.    I am going down to see the another Demo of it Friday to see more
nesting effects.
