Glenn: I just got a flier for Real 3D v2.4. Is this the one you guys are talking about? The list of features seems to have some cool stuff: Particle animation Inverse Kinematics Behavioral animation Procedural animation Acceleration/deceleration Collision detection Skeletonal control Spline modelling Solid modelling 'shrink wrap' function 3d font loader Volume filling particle tool Saveable macros Unlimited undo landscape and tree fractal generators 'snap to' existing objects line and wall lights refraction rendering Most if not all of the above are either IPAS routines for 3DS or do not exist at all for 3DS. However, they all come in the Real 3D BASE PACKAGE and cost $1295 list. There is even an Alpha compiled NT version for $1995. Maybe somebody reading this will understand why I've been interested in getting the 'new feature list' of 3DS NOT the 'new IPAS routine list' to read similar to the above. I'm gonna have to look into this package for the modelling tools alone. Bob
