>>I see a lot about Caligari Truespace as a Windows alternative to 3D Studio.<<
They have a save disabled demo of the program available and I've played with
that. There are some fun features but as a serious tool, no way. They emphasize
a few buzzwords but there are some pretty big weak spots. For example, most 3DS
users I know of squeeze every drop out of the Materials Editor. The materials
tools in Truespace are nowhere near 3DS's league.

Nor is the animation module! Not to mention the renderer, from what I've seen,
is pretty poor also. I'd put my $795 into IPAS routines or another drive for my
PAR!!
