>> I hope that I have not stirred any hard feelings through my admittedly >> strong opinions. Regards. Ha ha ha. Perhaps I'll go over to a Lightwave Users' Group meeting (is there such a thing?) and explain how much better the core 3DS is and how much flexibility is offered by its open architecture. Then I'll say that I hope I haven't stirred any hard feelings… <g> Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Most of the active participants in this forum are active users of 3DS. I can think of several on the forum who work across several hardware/software platforms and creative boundaries. 3DS is a VERY strong package which is VERY affordable and VERY well supported. While many here work with additional tools to assist in their work (the best tool for the job…), you will not find much negative feedback here about 3DS. I will admit that I know little about Lightwave (as you likely know little about 3ds.) If you are willing to drop your strong negativism, I would be interested in comparing strengths and weaknesses of our chosen software packages. >> waiting for the PC version of Lightwave to be released… as I am dropping >> the Amiga entirely now. 3DS is on its 4th PC version already. Continue to spend some time checking it out. While it is different than what you are used to, it IS still an excellent tool. – Dave Marks
