3Ds
3DS and R2 are the same product. R2 just stands for release 2. It is a 3
dimensional rendering and animation program. (and a great one, too, in my
opinioin.) It costs three thousand dollars. Pretty expensive (especially if
you can't get your employer to buy it, I plunked down the cash out of my
own pocket for at the moment amounts to my own amusement. I am definitely
not sorry, though.) that isn't much of an explanation, but it is a big and
fairly complicated program, and there are people creeping about here that
can give you a much more comprehensive explanation than I. Or you can do
what I did and call Autodesk and ask for information. They sent me a nifty
video tape that I was greatly impressed by. By the way, was another one put
out for Release 2? I wouldn't mind getting a copy, even though I now
(finally) get to play with the actual program. This last question is for
anyone who can answer…
