Thanks for the report Don. Besides the most discussed R4 plug-ins (IK & Patch Modeler), the other plug-ins as well as the core code changes seem to add a tremendous amount to this release – although the "look" may remain the same. (I'm strictly going by the press release & Gary's upload). Throwing out those two modules for a moment, the addition of a powerful BASIC-like SCRIPTING LANGUAGE with canned routines, function libraries, etc., FAST PREVIEW features, POSTSCRIPT OUTPUT, PERSPECTIVE MATCHING, major SPEED OPTIMIZATIONS in the Editor, more WINDOWS SUPPORT, FIELD VISUALIZATION in the Keyframer, and major IPAS INTERFACE enhancements – Gee, that's a bunch of additional power *now*, and the IPAS enhancements alone should produce some amazing power enhancements in the future. Then there's the IK & Patch Modeling. Sounds like a strong upgrade that's not so obvious on the surface. Did you see any of this stuff in action, and if so – can you comment ? Thanks, BILL
