Mark, >> The powers in the know like Metrolight, say no. I will be doing a demo here in Dallas at Paradigm next week so I will let you know. << depends on what quality you need. I asked others at work and they had heard of the boardset and said yes, it's faster than the reality engine, but no, it's NOT suitable for final renders and will only help your UI for testing up to, but not including, the final colour and lighting stages if you need Renderman or raytraced type quality. Like, I said, if you're not doing broadcast stuff it might work for you. If you want quality like the reality engine flight simulator then you might be in business. Hardware accelarators for use with MAX might provide some of this functionality, but probably aren't quite as fast for a small fraction of the cost. Anyway, only you can decide at the demo if the quality will serve your needs.
