Karl, I think you're right about Sculpt going for excessive $$$ in the Mac market. If I remember, it was more like a Mac version of Sculpt3D (little or no animation), with no rendering enhancements. Too bad; I kind of liked some of the features in Sculpt, and still use it for most of my modeling. Might even keep using it after I get my copy of Imagine; there are some very handy tools (like the helix and true splines). Hey, I think it's great that Imagine should be under $500. If I could afford the big boxes (and buckses) I would have a Silicon Graphics of my own… and be regretting the purchase, since the 68040 should pretty much make the Amiga a real workstation. I just hope Impulse can sell a pile of disks, turn a nice profit, and stay in business for many years to come. They deserve it, as do all the other developers who stuck with the Amiga through the lean years (assuming the lean years are ending!…) -Jeff
