Sergio, boy do I know what you mean about tracers! I still use Sculpt a fair amount too. I still like the look of the Sculpt paint and trace images, and it's very fast to model and animate in. Like many I learned with it, so maybe it's my familiarity that keeps me coming back. It works fine for me under WB2.0 (except the windows don't look correct, with the new coloring). I don't know about Real3D. Still waiting for folks like you to get the feel of it first. One of my favorites was 'Opticks'. I don't think it's made anymore, but it sure put out some great images! And wonderful rendering support too. Had a wonderful lighting scheme, based on theatrical lighting, using colored gels, spots, etc. I wish it had continued to develop, but…. Have you (or anyone here) used 3D Professional (PP&S?) recently? It's interface looked real nice; it was supposed to get some new ray tracing modules added via an upgrade recently. What about it? –jp–seattle–
