Hi, Terry! 1. >> If I buy OrganiX now, for R4, will it work with MAX when that arrives? Or is that even possible? Yes, it will. And Sticky Mapping will. And, perhaps, Metareyes will. Nothing in the MAX architecture prevents metaballs from working, quite opposite, MAX makes metaballs as easy to set up and use as any other modeling and animation techique. Also MAX makes everything compatible with everything, which means no more trickery to make OrganiX work with AXPs like Refraction Mapping or Aurora etc… 2. Take into account that Lee is a little biased (he is only a human), because he loves what we are doing, so he is not 100% objective comparing OrganiX and Metareyes (thanks him, he obviously likes OrganiX much more). If I were you, I would ask more people before commiting to any of these programs. The facts, though, are on OrganiX side, because we support only OrganiX: it means Refraction, Aurora and Sticky Mapping will work with OrganiX only and not with MetaReyes (at least for some time). Good Luck, Alex, Video International
