David,
I want to conratulate you and the AnimaTek perople on World Builder! I think
its a great program and the price is about right. I think most people are used
to software and hardware prices falling (we paid $5000 for the first IBM PC)
and for IPAS and other routines being much cheaper.
I do animation that is mostly outdoor shots for which WB fills a big hole and
just made life a LOT easier.
Several of us that have been discussing WB here are going to start posting
images to demostrate its outstanding capabilities. I just posted one after
working with the program less than a day. Also, why didn't Digimation post the
two sample flics here? I think they would have shown WB capabilities and
silenced the naysayers.
I think eveyone should look at the $35,000 cost for SGI Indigos and the high
price for Alias and realize what a good deal 3DS is and that we are fortunate
to have outside people like yourself support it. Now, how about a Renderman
module?
Again, great job!
Now, if I just had an NT version with a few quad Pentium 180's or P6's machines
to cut the render time to nothing…
Later! 🙂
