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. -John
