#More $Money?

Why do IPAS effects cost so much? Don't get me wrong, I think Autodesk and the
Yost Group are great, but another $2100 for all the IPAS, when usually you just
want a couple from each disk? For the cost of one IPAS disk, we could get
Impulse's Imagine. I know it's not as good as 3d-Studio, but it comes with it's
own effects such as explode and disinegrate. Plus, you get a feature similiar
to Skin.axp, a spline modeler, and a great particle generator. i have
experience with it and it's pretty nice, thought it's quality doesn't match
3d-Studio's. I think that the Yost Group would sell more IPAS if they sold
them individually, for $25-$40.
Anyway I still love Autodesk and the Yost Group, Great Job!

have you been smoking too many of those "funny" cigarettes? {|-P
All things are relative. The IPAS routines are dirt cheap compared to their
real competitors – the SGI packages. They may seem more expensive compared to
Amiga software but look what's happening to Amiga and its software developers –
they're tripping over themselves to get their software ported to a platform
with a forseeable future (PC/MAC/SGI).

If you look at their benefits and the amount of time they save on your
projects, you can plan on full payback by the time the first animation leaves
your office.
My personal favorites are Disks #6 & 7, which offer some real time-savers.
