#What's the difference?
I am curious to know what the main difference in quality (an un-biased repy
please <g>) is between 3D Studio and a higher-end, more expensive software like
SoftImage, or Wavefront. I have used both professionally, so I do recognize
the visual quality difference, but usually the client is blind to the quality
difference between 3-D Studio and Wavefront. Is it mostly the time difference
in rendering? Because if that is so, it seems one could just add more PC's to
a network for less the cost of an SGI Crimson. I am in the market for
purchasing a high-end SGI setup, but I do not wish to waste my money if it is
not necessary. By the way, if I did decide to go the route of SGI, I would
still use 3D Studio for less intensive projects, especially since the support
here is so fine, plus 3D Studio offers more flexibility than either SoftImage
or Wavefront. Good job guys.
