I think Real3D is a competitor only in the sense that it seems pretty popular in Norther Europe and to some extent in Canada. And I only mentioned it because some of its adherants think it is superior because of the inverse kinematics and full ray-trace capability. I have it too. Its in the closet. I haven't even loaded it since I got ADos 2.1 on my machines. The only part I found interesting at all was the materials editor. The version I had was so buggy, most of the other stuff didn't work. (I found out afterware that they had been selling an early beta version at NAB 93. At least that was what their tech support charaterized the version I got there once I finally called then after 4 weeks of trying to work tutorials, and using up half a legal pad documenting all the document errors and bugs. Sorta killed my enthusiasm for it). wmc – via Autopilot!
