Ya know, for the tedius stuff;) 3D Studio has not half the quality of any Strata program. On the other side Studio Pro is ten times as fast, as Studio Pro (got the comparison 2 min. with Blitz and 20 min. with 3D Studio). First is a PowerMac 7500 and the other is Pentium 150. Forget about rendering on the lame wintels (is win95 multiprocessing complaint ? :o) ). Next time get real facts :o) . ciao, peter
