At the NAB convention in April, I attended the Autodesk press conference/hospitality suite in the Las Vegas Hilton. After Autodesk's presentation I approached your demo station and got a run through of Key Factory. While discussing the program, I asked your employee giving the demo if the friction being applied to objects was like that in the real world. He told me that it was not “true friction'' but an “animator's friction'' and that true friction would be too diffiult to implement. Your press release flatly says that “Key Factory brings the laws of physics to 3D Studio Release 4.'' It also says that you have friction. So which is it, “true friction'' based on the laws of physics or your “animator's friction'' that isn't based on true physics? -Chris
