Albert, All these programs you mentioned are renderers only, aren't they? I'm hoping to find a complete system that runs on an i860 so not only is rendering speeded up but also the interactive work. I'm growing tired of hide/unhide……. With the 860 so tightly coupled to to the display on the herc card it should be pretty zippy for modeling, animation AND rendering. Maybe if we all gang up on Gary…….<g>. Have you seen anything on the Expressway from Lazerus? Looks pretty similiar to the Herc 3D, and even has modeling/animation SW, but I've yet to see a review or talk to somebody that actually uses this thing. From a hardware point of view this thing looks even better, considering the Xilinx ram based gate array, it could really be optimized for a particular application. James P.S. About that guy you know, must be one of my clones run amuck, we all typically hang around in the south<gggg>.
