To wabe : get a good therapy. Once you'll know the diffrences between "Max, Maya, Onyx, Xfrog, P5 and Vue Pro" (which I DON'T know if it pleases you) maybe you'll understand that "it absolutely makes sense to have this combination of packages." You own a bike? A car? You take the train? The plane? With which one to you go and buy your bread? To go to the supermarket? The same as the one to fly to the other side of the ocean? More funny: why did e-on create plugins for Vue Pro to work in conjonction with other 3D softwares like Max, Maya, Cinema etc???? TJ
