Hi John, I just unearthed my notes from the June Macromedia User Forum in SF…Steve Banfield, Microsoft's Multimedia Tools Evangelist, was a speaker…when he was asked about this issue, here's what I copied down: "Martin adding support for better 3D graphics to Windows. Early to say, adding to base operating system…I can't rule this out, but we may make a tool…Martin says we'll try for compatibility…won't try to break other [3D] apps." Guess that's where I got my perception from…but you've spoken directly with the source, so your info is probably better than these public statements. I'm impressed with the hardware/OS fast Gouraud shading on SGI machines…any hint (or perceived hint!) of moving 3D primitive support into lower-priced operating systems sets my little heart a-flutter. What's your impression of future development for Playmation? (And…"talking chimps in the GUI"?!?) John D.
