I do not beleive that Microsoft actually bought Playmation. I think that what they bought was the right to use the technology. My understanding is that whatever Microsoft does with it will not affect Playmation itself.

I heard that at least a month or two ago, not long after Siggraph. Pretty much the same story.

I did the same thing after buying it! <G> Or is that the other way around… they were interested in telling me all the wonderful things about it until I bought it, found out it sucked wind, and started to ask questions. ARGGH. Not that I think spline-patch packages are bad, mind you. Just Playmation. Dan
