HIYA! OK, what's the deal with that Real 3D package? I heard about it, and started salivating at the thought of those thick, juicy B-Spline-based meshes, those rich, textured and lustrous Ray-traced glass surfaces, and them spicy and firm Inverse Kinematics, and last but not least, these cool and refreshing Particle Systems! And all this for the low low price of $1200!!! Talk about a meal!! I'd like to think that Real3D is good, but I haven't gotten a chance to put it to the test. Hey, all you B-Spline modellers who ran this baby a couple of times: is she really that hot? Thanks in advance!

Without going into the details, I found 3ds much faster, better designed and more productive than Real3d. In my opinion the difference in price, even including a lot of IPAS routines is much less significant than the real cost of working with difficult to use tools ( time really is more than money! ) I am considering R3d as a modeler only since the recent messages extolling the virtues of the improvements in this area.

I totally agree 3DS is much faster and easier to use.

Please see REALGI.zip uploaded here. As an additional modeler…yes. BILL
