One problem with Renderman is that it doesn't have an interface. Although
programs, such as AutoCad will soon be able to drive renderman. The
macintosh version of SA4D as of yet doesn't have Animation capabilities like
the amiga version, but i was told E. Graham was working on this, along with
adding texturing. Caligari is junk! (PERSONAL + OTHER OPINIONS). JourneyMan
is great, plus a few of the 7 modules are shipping NOW! Turbo Silver has
great rendering, but a lousy cell editor, (BUT THIS IS ALSO BEING CHANGED).
Another program to check out is 3-Tuple, being made by Fred Michell at CBM.
The digital animation production's board is great if we can just get some real
software running. I'm currently working on a ray tracer for it that will
take in Turbo Silver CEll files, and Sculpt-Animate 4D .scene files, and
Render them, using my own renderer, which produces much better pictures than
TS or SA4D. I would take a serious look in to The JourneyMan by Hash
Enterprises, and 3-Tuple by Fred M. who i believe is on USENET!
There are some other packages coming out soon, but they're not very good.
