"The render engine behind the scenes is same as Poser 5/6 renderman compliant render engine. 3Delight Renderman complant engine." While both engines are Renderman compliant, they are not the same. " I'm sure the developemnt staff ain't all that large" It isn't. While I'd have to pseter a few people, I think it's only about 8 folks. "It's been in Beta for over 2 years." Relevance? Wings3D has been in beta development longer than that. The beta period for POVRay was also really long (I don't recall specifics, but it seems like around two years, if not longer). The amount of time it takes to finish it isn't relevant to the capability of the final product, nor does it serve to sufficiently establish a lack of intent to finish. The programmers cost money -- no one's doing the development work for free, and the same folks are doing both Bryce and D|S now, so things are likely to slow down a bit. "pure and simple." Ain't nuttin pure nor simple 'bout none of dem t'ings...

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
