I know you are all open to any and all questions and are the fastest repliers (is that a word) on renderosity. I will be upgrading to win2k soon and I was wondering for those of you who use these programs if you know...if there are compatibly with the upgrade? Animation Master 2000 Vue 2 well any Vue because I plan on upgrading soon Poser 3 Bryce 4 Strata 3D Pro Spiralizer Matisse Serif Photoplus Dogwaffle Those are the basic ones I'm worried about. Thanks everyone and HI! Long time no see! Oh and in case you are wondering why I am upgrading ELECTRIC IMAGE UNIVERSE 4:) Thats why! I'm moving up in the world! Actually I'm getting the DV toolkit and then Universe 4. I've looked around a lot and played with a lot and the latest Universe 4 seems to be the best balance of functionality, quality, and speed. Though I will say, I keep coming back to the simplest tools and the cheapest..some of them free in fact. Like spiralizer and the vue2 I got for free...nothing like a quick background in Vue:) cheers, Brian Cheers, Brian
