Martin. I'm pleased the article had some influence on your decision to get
involved with 3D Studio. At the time of the article, I had been working
with GSL's Topas software for quite a number of years. When 3DSr1 hit the
streets, I didn't think that any animation software under $18K could even
hold a candle to Topas (that was the list price at last year's writing… I
believe GSL has dropped the price to around $8k or so now). I was surprised
at how many `goodies' Adesk had packed into a $2995 animation package, thus
my over abundance of enthusiasm in the review. (Obviously, I'm still
`jazzed' over 3DS <grin>).
Regarding the Viewpoint meshes, I also noticed the interior details were
lacking. You might want to contact Viewpoint and show them your updated
meshes. – Greg
