Like I said, all this sounds great! But then again, so did Videoscape 3D.
Vscape 3D left a lot of people flat. No really usefull object editor was
provided, rendering (pardon pun) Vscape useless to many. Now Aegis has decided
to fill this void with Modeler 3D. Rumor has it that Modeler 3D will sell for
$140. Now Vscape users can finally take Vscape off the shelf and use it…but
for a hefty price. This, coupled with the fact that when Vscape was first
announced (pre-announced) here, it sounded great! Can you map IFF pics on
objects?-we asked. No, BUT you can use any pic as a background or as a
foreground.-you said. Of course, you left out that it's colors were hard-wired
and there were only 11 of them! Animations & Objects are easily created you
said. Thats why other 3rd party developers have been working to convert
objects for use with Vscape….including AEGIS.
Same with Diga! As already noted by others on the forum, it did not live up
to the hype. Hopefully the new Diga! won't impose further on it's users
finances.
Video Titler has received much hype recently. With the above precedents,
it's difficult to expect what has been promised. I truly hope that Video
Titler actually does what it's been advertised to be able to do. I for one, as
well as many others would welcome it.
<Gee, hope that didn't come off as I _think_ it did! Oh well, fuel for the
fire! 🙂 >

P.S. I believe Deluxe Video Construction Set also has polygon fonts. Making
that not unique to Titler.
