I'm recruiting arguments. For better or worse, I invited my boss to the Siggraph exhibits. My hope was to reinforce the concept that it does take some investment to achieve a quality product. My problem: TrueSpace 2, simply 3d, etc. Here I was trying to prove that 3ds is great, does this, that, and slices bread, and all these $200-500 programs report to do the same thing. How would you convince the non technical that 3ds is the way to go? I mentioned network rendering, output options, speed etc. I proved it by rendering a single primative on truespace and then doing the same thing on 3ds…look at the times! Thanks for your support and suggestions Todd
