Philip, The software publisher for Prisms is Side Effects Software which like Alias is a Toronto company. I am also looking into an SGI with either Alias, Softimage or Prisms. I am also in Toronto and word here is that everyone is migrating over to Prisms. I've never seen the front end; however I have seen product from it and it looks good, particularly charater animation. I called them today to get some info, but no call back, not to worry though as it was a Rememberance day here (Veterans Day in US) which is a half day holiday for some folks, so I expect I'll hear Monday. Word is that the software is 20K. Phone number for Side Effects is (416) 504-9876. Hope this helps and good luck in the search. regards, Anton (Toronto)
