Yes there is. It's called 3D Studio. It's by Autodesk. "Go Asoft" here on
CIS.
It is a great program. I own a Toaster and Lightwave drives me nuts. I use
3D Studio for all animation. If I ever need to do a raytrace I'll have to
use Lightwave since 3D Studio only does reflection mapping. ( much like the
version 1.0 Toaster) 3D Studio also has a collection of IPAS routines that
will allow you to do some amazing things with animation. As well as being
able to generate a 256 color version of the animation to test on the system
in a "flic" format. I personally think 3D Studio kicks Lightwave's rear.
But, there is no way you will set up a PC animation station as cheap as a
Toaster with all the Toaster's additional features. 3D Studio sells for
around 3K. That's just the software.
