> I probably would have called it something silly like "3D Studio Performer"… <g> < ROFL! It sounds like the name of a _sports car_. I can hear the TV commercial already: – – – Announcer (deep, Penzoil voice): "We asked professional race-renderer Martin Foster of Team Metrolight to test-drive the 3D Studio Performer — and this is what he said:" [Race car revving sound combined with wobble-cam footage of a DEC ALPHA and 3DS interface combined with montoge keyboard shots of Foster operating the computer with driving gloves and sunglasses.] Beta Test-Driver Testimonial (thick European accent): "The Performer has all the features of luxury sedan, with the price and performance of a sports app. The renderer is built on a solid frame that firmly grips the CPU — even around the tightest deadlines!" – – – — James — Choreo Motion —
