So what we might be able to say at this point is: 1. Renderman is better than the 3DS render engine. (Is it available as a 3DS plugin?) 2. Renderman doesn't use OpenGL to assist in rendering. So the processor become paramount in this case. 3. MAX may or may not use OpenGL to assist in rendering. We don't know. (At least I don't). 4. OpenGL probably is useful mostly for realtime items such as games. 5. You can never have too much RAM for 3DS. 6. And finally, someone will probably write a OpenGL render engine for 3DS and make this whole conversation academic . Thanks for the help. Later.
