Here's a quote from the 3D Studio Advanced User Guide "Important: It is not necessary to install a hardware lock in a system used exclusively for command line, batch, or network slave rendering. Your 3D Studio licensing agreement lets you install 3D Studio on any number of systems for these purposes." While I miss some of the intuitiveness of Lightwave and the Raytrace feature, I really LOVE the manual and tutorial. It allows even a novice to achieve a level of competence with 3DS and even 3D modeling in general. Also, the level of control and power of the modelers combined with the IPAS's definitely make it a beast worth considering. I am hoping to see Lightwave follow further into 3DS's realm. I am looking forward to the PC version, the ability to use modules, and the addition of IK. While I still use Lightwave, I find myself drawn more and more towards 3DS. However, I firmly believe in using each package where it's strengths apply. Sean // Dreaming? //
