Sorry to but in to your conversation but I happend to notice your
message about Playmation. I currently have the PLAYMATION product
with the 24 bit render and Decal editor. The 24-bit render module is
a MUST! I have found it to generate very realistic renderings. The
spline based modeler takes a bit to get used to, but after you get
the hang of it, you'll appreciate not having to work with hundreds of
polygons. The materials editor is very powerful but is lacking in ease
of use. I haven't purchased an upgrade to the ANIMATION MASTER yet
but from what I have heard, its got great new features like INVERSE
KINEMATICS. I don't know too much about this new video, but its got
to be better than their manual. '
