#Suicide as an option <g>
>> Are you running 3ds on a Unix workstation
No, 3DS only runs on 386/DOS PCs (and Windoze, but I haven't worked
with it there). All of our PCs are networked through PC-NFS to three
Sun SparkStations, which from the PCs appear as only additional
drives. However, with the true multitasking available on the Suns,
we also use them for AutoCAD, Modems, print/plot spoolers, mail,
desktop publishing, etc., etc., etc. at the same time.
Yes, we spoiled ourselves, but we made the committment to have a
serious 3DS animation studio years ago, and have been seriously
building towards that goal for a while. I can't imagine any other
way we could have gone that would have worked out so well for us. As
hard as it is to have a good crystal ball in the computer world, ours
worked pretty well this time!
