John,
Yes they do bundle Topas with the Alladin and their is a market potential their
for Interchange/3D-Roms. What you can do on the Alladin is to use Topas to
render a frame (of any object in any perspective), save it to disk, call it up
into Alladin Paint and create an alpha channel (basically making a
_FromSource(0), _ToSource(255), and _Visible(128) layer), then use the
Alladin's DVE with a "Genie" key enabled, and create your own transitions.
They have some very effective demo genie wipes that use Topas created Images
including a TV Set, some gold rings, a candle, etc.
