Autodesk 3D Studio is the better package if we compare it to the Amiga
version of Imagine 2.0.  I think the 3D Studio interface as well as its
commands and options are better than Imagine 2.0 on the Amiga.  Of
course the IBM version may be different or it may be a 3.0 version
release.  Another thing to consider is that 3D Studio comes in at a
hefty $2500.00 I believe and list on Imagine PC will probably be
somewhere around $500.00.

Imagine, however, is a very powerful package.  I think it will give 3D
Studio a run for the money even in its current state once it is
released.

One thing that will be nice about it is that those with Amiga's can get
both versions, do all the layout work on the Amiga and use some bare
bones 486's (possibly networked together) to do the rendering chores.
This should result in some pretty reasonable rendering times.
