Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will try to contain my excitement about X3. It appears that you're trying to go Pixar's ShowPlace one better. The ergonomics on X2 are so well thought out and certainly one of its great strengths. Will you be able to get the same ease of human interface with X3? Also, and this is a big one, will X3 be for both platforms? Although Pixar's offering Glimpse for Windows, they don't seem to have any plans for offering ShowPlace for anything other than Mac. It sounds like X3 could fill a waiting market. I'm assuming that the texture mapping is similar to the RenderMan 'Looks' and is not ray-tracing. There! See what a good boy I was…I didn't ask about delivery dates (BUT I WANT TO)…Rob P.S. may I have your permission to share your message with the heavy-hitters over on the Adobe PS forum? There are many DI pros over there and this would be a welcome announcement. Read action !
