Gary, Any chance of 3ds being released re-optimized for Pentiums to take advantage of parallel instructions, or in the future to run on multiple-processor platforms?? Probably something to add to the wish-list, but I was just wondering if you've looked into it at all… Thanks! -Glen

All questions about future hardware platforms for 3DS need to be addressed to the 3DS product manager at Autodesk… Bob Bennett (bobb@autodesk.com). – G

We have optimized our raytracer engine RayMan for the Pentium and it`s faster than the non-optimized version. But I really expected more….. Michael – Michael Bassier, Written 14-Aug-1994 @ 17:05:57 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.2

Michael, My name is Dave Thompson, with Sony Pictures Imageworks, and we would be very interested in being a beta test site for your ray-traced module for 3ds, if it is not to late. Please let me know, or just reply to Frank Foster, whose CS I am using. David Thompson 73051,1762
