Just had a rep from Alias over our place to demo Alias on a Indigo 2. WOW! This 3D software was amazing, so was the machine! It had 96 megs of ram, a 2 gig drive, 24 bit graphics, and a DAT. The cost of the system they demo'd was $90,000.00. $45,000 for the machine, and $45,000 for the software (software starts at $15,000, and works up to $45,000)! The rep told us that it's not possible to run this software on a Indy (the $5000 machine) without adding another $20,000. At this rate, you should just get the real Indigo. It must be nice to have bucks for this toy! -Troy PS: Anyone got 100k to loan? 😉

And you'll want to toss in the SGI's currently best selling morphing system, ElasticReality, for only $2995. 🙂

When are you guys going to upgrade Morph Plus to that style of morphing??? I saw a picture in some magazine, and it looks a LOT easier than the "points and Lines" method you currently use. Is that a possibility? / / / //ANDRE

Yes, it is a possibility. Watch for it.

I couldn't guess at this point in time. Something reasonable, of course.
