> You have to admit that this list seems anemic compared to what Lightwave is doing right now, < Greg didn't make it clear that these were productions coming from _his_ company only. There are at least few dozen other production houses using 3DS in television. Just because you see Lightwave on Seaquest every week doesn't mean the entire film and televsion community is hell bent on Lightwave. Off the cuff … some programs that are or have used 3DS somewhere in production: Time Traxx Star Trek: TNG Star Trek: DS9 Unsolved Mysteries Encounters Sightings Liquid Television Promos -n- Tags . . . Discovery Channel Sci-Fi Channel MTV CNN A&E Nickelodian Big Freebee networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX) These are just a few I happen to remember. If eveyone here listed a program they knew of, it would be much longer. Rather than propagate this inane discussion, however, lets have our next comments include verifiable statistical market data. Here's one: Autodesk products account for approximately 25% of the current market share in desktop animation software. Where does Lightwave stand? > I hope that I have not stirred any hard feelings through my admittedly strong opinions. < Ditto. — James E. Coulter — Choreo Motion —
