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?
