Thanks much for the input! It sounds like you've taken the path I will have to in the near future. The only thing I wonder is whether I should go Mac, or go with a MinNT system. While it's true the Mac is currently the leader for graphic tools, but I feel that day will soon change. More and more people are developing on NT and porting to the Mac environment. On the other hand, I need to consider the fact that more & more of my clients are going to Avid or IMMIX non-linear solutions. Producing QuickTime2 movies for them would be really easy – alot easier than trying to port from the Amiga or the PC……. So, which 3D packages have you had a chance to really use on the Mac? You mentioned being a beta tester for Pixar – I love the concept behind RenderMan (see my Bowling Pin JPEG in the AmigaArts libs :^), but I hear it's really slow. Does the PPC help?
