Jonas, Have a question or two…I have been using 3DSR3 for about 2 mos now…and cannot determine if it is possible to use the mouse to rotate a mesh as opposed to using the arrow keys…is this possible? I have to assume that there is no way to render a sample frame in a window…only to frame buffer or dispplay? In release 4 or 3DS, since it will be using NT 3.5 or later, can I expect that it will use the native GL support and will R4 support some of the more advanced stuff that is found in Wavefront i.e., kinematics, etc.? Regards, Jeff Bakst jbakst@mediascape.com P.S. On the R4 will there be a native version for the PowerPC 601 604 or just Intel pentium…I hope for the PowerPC as it is much faster than 90MHz pentium in Floting point and integer FP is key to rendering at least as far as our SGI code… any comments (-:
