<<What other systems have you or are you using?>> Not quite sure about the question, but I'll tell you *everything* <g>. I've got 5 PC's (three business and two personally) from a lowly 386/33 ISA machine all the way up to a Pentium PCI/SCSI machine including a multimedia notebook for remote presentations. I also have acces to (though I don't own) two MACs — a IIci and a Quadra 860AV. They are all loaded up with RAM, HD space and have CD-ROM access. As far as software goes I have all the biggies for DTP — Quark, PageMaker, Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDraw, Picture Publisher as well as many little utilities. I use Macromedia Director for the interactive stuff. For the 3D stuff I've been using Drafix CAD professional (first true Windows CAD program if that means anything) for the DXF preliminary stuff. Animation Master, of course and most recently Caligari's TrueSpace for "flying logo" types of things. My needs for the 3D and the animation are mainly front ends and splacsh screens for the interactive presentations I put together in Director. I don't really see my self becoming an "animator" per se but anything's possible. My reasoning behind the 3D software is simple. With AutoCad and 3dStudio costing what they do, I'd rather buy a new car<g>. And, only now is 3D studio getting into the inverse kinematics and charactering that A:M has and Playmation has had all along. Charlie
