how about some details on the 3-d animation program you've got in the works?? (I think I've heard it called VideoScape)

Aegis Videoscape 3D is being created by Alan Hastings. It allows for the creation of 3D solid animation with IFF back/front drops. It works in all resolutions in overscan. Features include independent object motion (6 degrees of freedom), complex camera motions with 2nd order smoothing, light source with diffuse and spectral reflection, compression system allowing for real time playback of short sequences and more.

I'll believe it when I see it. You guys haven't even upgraded ANIMATOR yet. Also you didn't return the postcards I enclose when I send letters to companies (to make sure they got them). EA not only sent back the card, they sent three pages of C source code to support my application! Within three weeks! Aegis needs some smoothing on the PR/customer side. J.

As an old user (and Videomaker) of Atariworld, Appleworld and 3D-Supergraphics (remember those?), I can't wait for your product!!! It sounds exactly what I've been waiting for, how about a release date and price?
