John, Well thanks. I did not really believe that infini-D was a better program but was told it was so by someone who insisted that they knew, THEN when I asked a 3ds guy if it was true he said something about how it could be true for some people for some projects , that he loved 3ds BUT that it was no longer so far in front of the pack as it once was. Playmation is really not comparable, but, again, I've heard tell of a very soon upcoming release that will (maybe) be much more powerful. One of the big arguments in favor of diving into 3ds is the compuserve forum here is constantly buzzing indicating the critical level of interest from creative talents… I don't really know if there is anything analogous for any other platform. I've seen demo reels for 3ds that look real hot, but the difficulty is in finding real specific info from the nay sayers – my friend who likes infini-D for example claims it is "obvious" from looking at renders that it is better, but I don't see it. Does anyone know how infini-D does it's rendering, whether or not it is using different techniques from 3ds or whether it is 6 against half a dozen?
