>Hey, your wife is more important than this CG stuff! Right? <g> Oh…. Hmmm… Yeah, sure, I think, that's right, of course, I mean, right, she's the one, she's… CG? Hmmmm…. All seriousness aside (and I wish this was a way to continue this thread by addressing to all, but I guess I don't know WinCim as well as I thought) I will be the one voice of sanity for all the little people out here. To the people, such as Chuck, who think 3DS should be higher (or not lower) — shame on you! You are sheltering yourself behind a facade that's such a house of cards it's not worthy of comment. Do you think it makes a difference what typewriter Hemmingway used? Who cares what word processor the book you read is being produced on? The truth is, as this 3D stuff explodes (and it will — even *I* can see that) everyone will be doing it, like it or not you guys, and the test then for your clients won't be "what kind of machine was this made on, and what tools were used?" but what the output looks like. This kind of reminds me about the comments made about the Jurassic Park effects — when the movie first broke everyone wanted to downplay the computer stuff, because it was better for movie PR that the monsters were full sized and "real". Then, as they found out people actually liked the idea of computer graphics, they started admitting the real story. Just like DTP, 3D for the masses will come. And then, it won't matter how much money you have, just how much talent. That will be VERY scary for some — I hope most of the people in this forum don't fall in this category.
