Thank you for the 3DO commercial. <g> I am flattered that you think I could make sense from your message. So let me get this straight. You have this 3DO machine of some kind with a 32-bit RISC CPU in it. There are also twin graphics processors that render really fast. Questions: 1. What do these graphics processors render? Are you talking about 3D files such as 3DS meshes, or something else? 2. Is there some kind of user interface involved (ie. is it kind of like a PC) or do you plug it into the PC and download the data from there via some kind of program on the PC? I am having trouble (a) picturing what the hardware looks like and (b) imagining the process you would go through to put an animation sequence on this thing. Can you fill in the blanks?
