Steve: ADESKers are not allowed to comment on future development plans of 3DS. I, like you and many others are interested in a version of 3DS for NT. Currently you can run 3DS under Windows as a DOS app and some forum members have had great success. I would say that it is unclear whether render times take a hit for the Windows overhead but my guess is that you probably would. An SGI render-only engine has been announced but no other platforms have yet been announced. Network rendering on many PC's is commonplace, giving you as many render engines as you have PC's for no additional software cost, network rendering is built in. Bob
