Alias is pretty expensive, no, make that VERY expensive (I'm pretty
sure you're in the +20k range with all of its modules) and then it
only runs on SGI boxes so you're in for another 15k (minnimum) there
too. Big bucks! – but it has become somewhat of an industry standard
for very high end work (Terminator 2 etc.) but then 3DS is trying to
change that too <g>. AutoEdge? In R3 it works the way AutoSmooth did
in R2 – you enter the angle of meeting surfaces and it will change
the visibility of edges accodingly.
p.s. – only the ID group at Kohler uses Alias, to my knowledge, but
then they're the ones that need it the most!
