#SA-4D Junior released!!
4 messages in this thread
I just saw something that came as a complete shock and surprise to me: Byte
by Byte has released a program called Sculpt-Animate 4D Junior! It retails
for about $150, and it seems to have quite a large number of features.
(I'll post the feature list here, if it's deemed as not commercial, since
I'm not involved with Byte by Byte in any way). Has anyone seen, or used
this program? I flatly refuse to buy Sculpt-Animate 4-D because of the
price, but this new development is something I could definiately swing. I'm
especially interested in how they've enhanced the 3d editor. I've yet to
see someone else come out with a better 3-D editor than Sculpt has.
Comments, anyone?
Steve – If you like SA-4D Junior, you are gonna love "Quick Silver" – Quick
Silver is our downscaled version of Turbo Silver, which by the way is the
package that CBM Germany chose for their Video Box Package which goes out
to all German dealers. <–Stan
Steve, but the new 'Junior' version of SA4D doesn't do real
ray-tracing, or at least that's what I read. Its release doesn't surprise
me too much. There's an ever-growing A500 market out there that would
never pay $400-$500 for ANY program, no matter how great. Also, I note
that in the 3D category at the recent NY AmiExpo art contest, the top 3
places and one honorable mention went to images done with Turbo Silver.
There was only a single honorable mention awarded to a Sculpt image. I'm
quite sure that things like that definitely get Byte By Byte's attention
:-). And re: better editors, have you tried Modeler3D yet?
Doesn't do real ray-tracing? What does it do? Just solid modeling? What
a disappointment, but I really should have expected that.
I have Modeler-3D, but I haven't used it too much, mainly because I've been
very busy. That manual really ticks me off too. I don't like they way
they did the tutorials in there. I guess I should get back to it soon. Do
you (or anyone else) have the errata that floated around here a while ago?
There were some mistakes in the manual, and I can't remember what they
were. (That could have been part of my frustration last time I looked at
it).
