Dear Adesk: Have you given any thought to the possibility of bringing 3DStudio into the Win/95 or Win/NT OS's, so it can join the other Adesk products already in Windows? Those of us using AutoCad 12/13, AME, AutoVision..etc. in Windows now would like the "orphan (bastard?<g>) child" to join the rest of the family. I went to an all day presentation yesterday on AutoCad 13, and I was told of this "better" communication being developed between your product family members, but I(we) work in an all Windows environment EXCEPT for 3DStudio 4. If you can render in Acad 13/AutoVision at these speeds why not 3DStudio? Supposedly Win 95 and NT now have all these fancy 3D and Animation utils "built-in" for developers to use. Also, I'd like to add that "Renderize Live" and "AccuRender 2.0"(Which we also use) are in Windows with animation capabilities. Isn't 3DStudio supposed to be the superior software? I want to go to Win 95 and/or Win NT, but what do I do with 3DStudio when they effectly "dump" DOS? —————————————————— Question (1): Will it work in a DOS window under these two OS's? Question (2): If so how bad will I downgrade it's performance in this environment? —————————————————— Rod Edwards Architect,Production Manager
