It's been over a year since I bought our company's first 3D Studio package.
Today I received another copy I bought and I noticed that it's version
1.01. I have not kept up with the forum here so I missed any
announcements. What's the difference in the two versions? When's 2.0
coming out?
<g> Can't blame me for trying, can ya?
The primary difference between 1.0 and 1.01 is that 1.01 supports the Vista
cards PAL resolutions. 1.01 exists because of the European market. We took
the opportunity to put some more information in the Installation and
Performance Guide that relates to the Pharlap CFIG386 program, but all that
info is in the readme.doc for 1.0 as well.
There is no official release date for 3DSr2, but if it doesn't ship this
winter I would be _very_ surprised (and disappointed!).

PS: 1.01 also fixes two bugs in 1.0: a) wrong sequential image-file
numbering when rendering Ranges from the keyframer; and b) a minor bug with
opacity maps that contain the color-register 0,0,0… the background will
not show through the opacity map in those cases.
