DL> 3D animation is about 7% of gross sales and growing rapidly and I DL> attribute that to the power of 3DSr2. For 640×480 flc I use a Magni DL> Pro and I still get requests for low cost animations in 2D. Just DL> landed two color cycling animations this AM, so 2D is not dead yet. I really like 3ds also, I will probably never give it up. But I don't have the bucks to buy the AG7750 or similar deck for single framing. You have a lot more equipment than I do. That is what really divides our strategies. If I had an old Sony 5850 lieing around, I would more likely pop for a single frame controller and a Magni. Where would you shop for used 3/4 inch equipment such as the Sony 5850? BTW, regarding the Magni, I noticed that an Amiga based company called GVP has just gotten into the VGA to NTSC market with a device that is based on electronics licensed from Magni. Did you see their ad in the last Desktop Video World?
