In one word, nuts! That ain't going to happen. In order for it to work, the entire Windows API would have to be ported to 3D Studio. Those *.8BF files are just regular Windows programs. The only difference is that, much like 3D Studio IPAS, they receive a data structure from the host application telling what to do and where. Other than that they are on their own to do whatever they see fit. That means they can use any Windows API function. That also means that in order to have a Photoshop plug in working under 3D Studio, something must be done so the plug in thinks its running under a _16_ bit Windows environment.
