John: >> (Now if only they would make a PC that could handle radiosity calculations at under 15 min./frame….) << When I spent time with the Lightscape folks this is how I understood the program. Animation in Lightscape can be done in real-time AFTER the scene is resolved for radiosity. These solutions are quantified in hours so you could actually create very long animations in a relatively short amount of time. For example one could specify a 4 hour resolution and when done you would be able to create animations throught space in only a few seconds. I've tried to convince Lightscape to join us here in AMMEDIA to answer querries like yours and to deliver facts (Don't take anything I might say about the program as true without Lightscape's verification.) Maybe I should encourage those interested to send them e-mail. I'll have to dig up their address. – Bob Ritger
