Shoe, Do you remember the name of the VR forum here on CIS? The merge going on with 3D rapid prototyping and VR is exciting. I was to attend Gerge Gonsales AMP conference on this at the end of Feb but had to cancel at the last moment. There are just so many neat things happening at once now days, it's really exciting. Spent a good part of the day exploring Acad R12 for Win3.1 and I say WOW WOW. Combine this with Corel draw, Photostyler, PageMaker, Graphic Impact 3D Studio 2.x and AniPro 1.3 and authoring and sound creation software and the limits are all but gone. The neat thing about Photosyler is the ability to play with the Acad dwg and merge in a 3ds Targa file that is resolved far above what one can do in 3ds alone. Playing with lighting design today I was WoW'ed many times over ( yes Vernon is sometimes easily Wow'ed) but This new windows version says to me that new professional users should buy it 1st and skip the dos version. (Now all I need is that Time Expansion module and to find the button called "Expand above 24hrs/day"<g>) Congrats to the team that built this new windows package—-WOW PAT PS: I knew I did the right thing when I speced out 64 meg expansion and a min of a 230MB drive for our new machines. Seems like 16mb ram is ground zero now.
