Gary… Thanx for the `kudos' on last year's review of 3DS1. (I was supposed to present at last year's NCGA Adesk press conference when you folks unveiled Animator Pro… I didn't realize that you folks had included my 3DS review in your press kits… I was honored. One of the technical editors and I – Tom Yager – missed the unveiling. He was miffed that * he * had assigned me the review and didn't write it himself <grin>). I'm getting pretty deep into the nuts and bolts of 3DSr2 and it's very, very impressive. I'm especially thrilled with the reflection/environmental mapping, as well as the DXF importation fixes that have been implemented. I do a fair amount of Acadr11 AME solid modeling and so far, I haven't had a model that's choked on importation. It looks as if I'll be working on the 3DSr2 review for this year, so I guess I'll have to leave it pretty `vague' for the moment, but as usual the product is `sterling'. – greg
