Andy, I agree a port to NT3.5 would be great…assuming $soft changed the cheesy GUI to make it more of an workstation look. As to the other 99%…well as I said if 3DS gets more powerful it will start to require a workstation class OS with a workstation class GUI. NT in its current incarnation just does not cut it…as to the user base for a *NIX version well it it were to keep it current price point and purhaps raise the cost about 2K then it would still fall way low of wavefront/alias/softimage etc. It would compete with the likes of the former but at a better price! From what I saw at SIG R4 is still a DOS 32-bit program ya know they could even port to Deskview/X [D that was Desqview/X a X port to DOS that gives users a true multitasking…well in the sense it can run multiple apps.
