Hi David! In addition to Martin's comments just let me add that IMHO r3's new renderer makes pictures that are nothing short of STUNNING. The new A-Buffer Anti-Aliasing teamed with Gamma Correction makes for, I feel, real "workstation-quality" renderings. The demo pics shown by Gary, Jack, and the crew were GREAT! So it would seem that r3's strongest points are huge improvements in quality, as opposed to just speed improvements. Put it this way: with Anti-Aliasing ON you ALWAYS get *way* better looking renderings than the old Anti-Alias/High mode. And they are about as fast as the old low/medium setting. This is just real exciting stuff, so excuse me for sounding a bit like a cheerleader!<g> Take care, -Alan
