	Can anybody tell me about 3-D animation programs for the Mac or point
me to a good source of information?  I used to love making 2-D animations on
my old //e, and I'm going to be buying a Mac fairly soon, and I want one 
that'll be able to run the appropriate software.  For instance, will a IIvx
cut it?  Or do you _need_ a Quadra?  If so, is a Quadra 700 sufficient?  I
want to get the cheapest Mac possible that will suit my needs.  I'd like to
do 3-D animation with objects made out of polygons that can be rotated and
translated in relation to each other, with good camera-positioning facilities
and smooth frame-rate.  I'm not as interested in photo-realistic shading and
shadows.  I would be overjoyed if anyone could provide me with some info...
