As some of you know, I am seeking for a modeller for the PowerMacintosh that could export DXFs to 3DS. My list is now reduced to the following: Alias Sketch 2.0, which has NURBS and raytracing (arround $500) Valis (they make MetaFlo') PixelPutty Solo (yeah, the name is stupid) for $300. RayDream Designer 3.0 for $248 (easiest to use) I know that FormZ is great, and Electric Image is very good too, but I am not going to spend $4,000 in another animation program for the Mac. I prefer to join a satanic cult and practice black magic to make Gary port 3DS to the PowerMac. The second option is the only I don't have experience with (I was talking about the program, not the black magic). It was demoed in Siggraph, but I wasn't there. It is supposed to do wonders and oriented to creat organic/irregular models. I have read a lot of great comments comparin it to modellers at the SGI level, but I am searching for the enligthment among the massssteerrrsss in the forum :). I am sure that some of you saw the thing at Siggraph. Any other comments about Alias and Desginer would be equally appreciated. Thaaaaanks ana /krayz images ps. God, anyone want my copy of Animator Pro! ps2. Still playing with Painter 3.0, will post some info soon.
