Hi Martin, << They have the best particle systems (fire, smoke, hair, etc) and lights (volumetric, true 3d) I've ever seen. They had demos of full heads/bodies of hair in the form of a wig, a porcupine, and a yeti creature. The hair has full dynamic properties (gravity, collision, etc) and was quite simply breath-taking>> Did you see how long it took to render a particle efx? from what I saw, it was verry slow. On the other hand Wavefront's Dinamation is almost real time. Not seeing to much of Alias particle systems do you think its better? I know alot of movie efx's are made with Dinamation. <<I think this could be done with IPAS, but will anyone take the challenge ….? Who knows.>> I think that a good idea too. I would like to see a Ipaz interface that could handle multipe particle EFX's one that would grow and get better over the years like Dinamation. Thanks for the re-cap. -Brandon
