Phil/ Yost Group/ Kevin/ All, I hope that someone read this message (I think that I can kill or sell my body for some answers <g>) I'm looking for some detailed information comparing 3ds with Topas (I'm writing an article about 3ds). We asked Techex Spain for a copy of Topas but they told us that send all the program modules is very dificult at this time, and we have to wait two weeks for the whole copy. I need some information quickly. I read a lot of messages about this matter but I'm looking for a summary file…probably a conference transcription? Please, help! Thanks in advance, Ana Gervas ps.I'm looking for some 3d animation Silicon Graphics based programs too. TIA S3

Sorry, Ana. I know very little about Topas. But surely someone else here can fill in some of the information about it and how it compares to 3DS.

Ana, Sorry, I'm not buying. I do have some comparative info that could go by fax (I'd need country code and such), but too much to type in. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Well, I don't know, Ana. Are you going to be at SIGGRAPH this year? (Just kidding <grin>) We have both packages in house and can probably furnish you with some useful info, but it would take too long to type in. If you are interested (no need to strike those serious-sounding deals, but thanks for the thought), give us a call at (214) 368-8987. Ken Loss-Cutler

Ken, Regarding Siggraph…probably next year. I'm planning to go to the states next summer (to Florida) for 3 or 4 years, so if I have time, I will visit Siggraph too (and I hope that I'll have enough time in three years). I think that Kevin will send me a fax with all the info, but if I have more questions, I will ask you. Thanks, Ana ps.Talking about "killing and selling bodies", well, this is a common expresion here in Spain (mataria por esto o venderia mi cuerpo o mi alma). Sorry if I have hurt the forum sensibility. Best wishes, Ana.
