I haven't seen a relply to my previous post, so I decided to take a gamble &
buy Simply 3D today – afterall, for $59 what did I have to lose?
I've just begun looking over the documentation & so far it appears it may meet
my specific needs – I'm gald to see the AVI support for animations. I was
kinda shocked though to see the system requirements: at least a 25M Permanent
Swap File, and 8M RAM at a minimum. I have the 8M, but will have to reclaim
some disk space for that humongo swap file (sounds like an OS/2 pig). Anyway,
I'm gonna give it a shot.
I also discovered an ad for the Visual Reality product which appears to be
priced more in line with trueSpace. Is Simply 3D just a scaled down ("special
edition") of VR? What makes VR better than Simply 3D?
