>> Your saying that C++ is going to be manditory in the future sends chills up my spine << I don't think you need to worry about it being "required". I suspect though that many will develop a strong interest in learning V-C++ because they can fine-tune MAX and write thier own routines. Similarly, many people using Renderman write their own custom shaders, and those using Alias write their own custom routines. The difference between R4 and MAX is that you won't need to own a super-high-end- really-expensive-and- hard-to-use compiler to write your own routines. Also, it sounds like the architecture has really opened up to make add-ons more closely tied to the base program. – Dave
