<<dunno what I'd've named it. Probably "Really good 3D program" <g>>> Heh. Then they'd call it 3D Studio RG3P! Maybe MAX stands for something like "Mighty Awesome Xperience" "May All Xpress" I probably would have called it something silly like "3D Studio Performer"… <g>

I think they need to call it MAXX, and use the cartoon character from MTV as it's mascot. <g> He'd be cool to animate with Biped too. 🙂 JNJ

> I probably would have called it something silly like "3D Studio Performer"… <g> < ROFL! It sounds like the name of a _sports car_. I can hear the TV commercial already: – – – Announcer (deep, Penzoil voice): "We asked professional race-renderer Martin Foster of Team Metrolight to test-drive the 3D Studio Performer — and this is what he said:" [Race car revving sound combined with wobble-cam footage of a DEC ALPHA and 3DS interface combined with montoge keyboard shots of Foster operating the computer with driving gloves and sunglasses.] Beta Test-Driver Testimonial (thick European accent): "The Performer has all the features of luxury sedan, with the price and performance of a sports app. The renderer is built on a solid frame that firmly grips the CPU — even around the tightest deadlines!" – – – — James — Choreo Motion —

<<The Performer>> YICKS! MAX the first born of SS, The Performer — some sort of verile Italian Sportscar, or I've even heard that it will be named after some large savage CAT. Maybe depending on your personal configuration it will have different names — MAX will ship with little packets of blood to put over the top of your ALPHA, Performer will come with snazzy all black helmet and visor, and the savage CAT will come with replaceable kitty litter you sprinkle around your monitor. Animation is fun
