Thanks for the info.
You say Electric Image is now c$3000. I've heard that it's being ported to
Silicon Graphics machines. Do you know if the price will be similar on this
platform?
It seems that the bundled software with these machines is pretty good for quick
rendered 3D work, but if you want images of the same quality as 3DS then you
have to pay a great deal. I can't seem to identify a middle ground.

David,
I just passed on the pricing as per the magazine and press releases. I
don't know what their SGI port will cost, and CSA doesn't plan to carry it. I
wasn't that impressed with ElectroGig's 3DGO or Renderize. The main contenders
on the SGI are still Alias, Softimage and Wavefront/TDI.
