The Windows NT version is $1995 US.
Right now you can upgrade from Amiga>NT for $799.
Also you can model on Amiga and render on NT with the NT render engine for
$349.
The Windows Demo (save disabled) is done but we are adding some more tutorial
info which will take a few weeks. Send me your address and I will get one out
to you.

The NT render engine sounds very cool :^)
Can you tell us what kind of speed increases to expect rendering on say
P90 or MIPS machines? I'm sure with this kind of speed R3dv2 would become
easier to use.
I just wish it could load LW objects or the likes. :^)

We are conducting some speed comparison tests now but roughly it looks like the
Pentium is 3x plus faster than A4000 and MIPS is 2-3 x faster than that.
ROUGH.
I also heard that the Raptor Plus may be able to render Real files.
LW and other poly based objects will be easily importable in the next
release…
