>> Do you think an IPAS for raytracing is a good idea? << Richard, I think it might be a good idea for some people and I suspect there would be enough of a market to make it worthwhile to develop, but personally, I really like the look and speed of 3DS the way it is. If I had a budget which could afford raytracing, I could probably do it all in 3DS and do it more cost effectively. There are probably some exceptions but I haven't found myself in that situation. I think for instance Ara's suggestion for refraction would be faster to implement and render; even though it requires two renderings, than ray-tracing. -JE
