Glint ?
Thanks, Gary!
You know I am always surprised by stories like your guys using
less-than-cutting-edge hardware to make cutting edge software, and all us users
can do is SCREAM for MORE POWER SCOTTY!!!!
Same thing with lightwave, Alan and Stu were writing it on machines far less
powerfull than the typical power user. Of course, if you guys had clients who
gave you RIDICULIOUS deadlines and less-than-adaqute (SP) budgets, you guys
would have rooms full of P5/133 machines to make deadlines too.
You know the down side of techical progress is that the typical client has no
comprehension of what it takes to do this stuff. Finished product looks easy.
If only the average guy knew what goes into the making of a high-end commercial
product. Remainds me of a friend at Sony who worked for months on just six
shots……….
Say now that MAX is out of the bag, I hope your going to give us juicey
tidbits once in a while so that we all don't start chewing on our leashes and
acting like animators-in-heat!?

>>>If it means anything to you, our team has been using single P5/66's with no
hardware acceleration until a couple of months ago, and we all had absolutely
no problem with performance. Because of some of our "tricks", we get faster
interactive rendered performance than anyone else will. We spent an incredible
amount of time in the early stages of coding to make sure that MAX is fun to
use on any Pentium-based system, all the way down to a 66.
