Glyn, thanks for responding, i agree with you 100 % the PC market has left the amateurs/hobbist out in the cold. as far as the broadcast quality argument, its the signal generated by the HARDWARE not the software that determines " BROADCAST QUALITY" you can buy equipment for the AMIGA that outputs broadcast quality. as far as the resolution goes i find it challenging to rival high res pictures on my low res ANIMATOR. i've seen high res pictures that look like #$%* and low res pics that are outstanding, the main thing is the correct use of color ! however i think with the low res you are very limited in manipulating the image once it is created. if i buy an AMIGA and a three d program i don't care what resolution it has because i'm just going to render at 320×200 anyway. Back to the professional issue that everyone is bringing into this thread…even if the AMIGA CAN only do cable quality …so what i'd be estatic if something of mine showed up on a cable show even more estatic if i was PAID to do it. ( gee…if you can eventually get paid to do stuff for cable tv with your NON-BROADCAST quality AMIGA maybe then you can afford to blow lots of money on the ultimate system,BUT if you never get to that level and just remain a simple hobbyist your not out the big bucks! ;> I do very much agree with you that someone should make an expandable 3d program for PCs thats affordable to the hobbyist and does not reguire a BIG machine to run it at first (like maybe be able to run on my little 386/20 40mbhd 2mbram ) 🙂 until next time, JOHN
