#DCTV vs Toaster?
3 messages in this thread
To anyone, I am an illustrator with a 3000 and am currently looking into
getting either DCTV or Toaster. However, I am unsure as which would best
suit my purposes. Currently I plan on using it to explore more the paint
programs, and not so much the animation or video desktop aspects. I have
DPaint III but find it limiting for me. Is there anyone out there who can
persuade me to purchase one or the other? I'm willing to listen to both
sides.
Thanks,

Nyls I just got my toaster for my 3000, and I've had DCTV for 6 months.
DCTV is truly a great thing – and cheap too. You can render directly to it
from a number of 3d programs ( draw4dpro – Imagine 2.0, and soon, Real 3d
)- What kind of stuff do you want to do? I'm pretty new at the toaster –
but plan on using DCTV alot with it – to render animations. I'd be happy
to help with any possible questions. Have FUN mike
As a long time toaster owner, I would say for your stated purpose DCTV
and Caliari2 would be an ideal combination that would set you back
about 1/3 or a Toaster price. For your purpose, about 4/5 of the
Toaster capability would be wasted. Caligari and DCTV give you the
capability to expand to high quality animation if you later desire to
do so with no extra cost penalty.
