We've been looking at Wavefront and I'm interested to hear that you can't tell the difference between Wavefront and 3D Studio animations. Could you share a couple more details? In particular, was there a dramatic difference between the two platforms as far as production time? I would imagine Wavefront would claim to be able to do things simply that would be very complex in 3D Studio. Do you find that to be true? Also, I wonder if your particular task was or was not a good fit for the power of Wavefront? As an example, you wouldn't buy a silver chalice to drive a nail, but it would be great for pouring libations. Sorry to be so poetic, but hopefully it makes the right analogy for the question I'm trying to ask. Perhaps Wavefront would be incredible for engine pistons but so-so for architectural walkthroughs (?) — Jerry Waxler
