#SHOMI Dual TBC
Have you seen Stratavision for the Mac. Its easy to use and produces
spectacular (or specular (a rendering joke!?!) images. It also does
animation. It's $595 + 195 for StrataFlight, the part that does animation.
Problems are somewhat limited modeling capacity and relatively slow
rendering. Still what I saw on Lightwave for the toaster seemed both better
and more flexible. Very strong in modeling and unbelievable in the ease of
animation.
I've read about but not seen results from Caigari – the broadcast version
which is 24 bit is well thought of but uncommon because of the price. The
low-end one doesn't seem to win over Sculpt, Silver, Imagine etc.
