Hm.. That's quite an interesting prospect. Perhaps 3DS previews will
replace traditional storyboards<g>. Really, though.. it seems like quite
a task to recreate live action in 3ds. Even if it is just a preview, will
people be made of boxes or cubes and the like? or will they look like
actual people. What about scenery? colour? I guess you could go as in
depth as you wanted to. I know that imaging/visualization programs (not
necessarily 3ds) have been being used for a while in the dance industry or
whatever it's called. All complex choreography is done using first the
computer, then teaching the dancers, such as in Michael Jackson's many
videos.
