I agree, and if NeXTWorld's photo of 3D Reality is any measure of
their ability to review this program, they clearly
demonstrate their lack of ability to lay out a scene correctly. 
For those of you without this picture handy, it's a very dark
photo with 6 rendered objects in it, the lower three of which I
still can not make out due to poor lighting.  Adding some lights
to this scene would have helped immensely as would some
illustrations of menu layouts or options that they claim are
faulty.   

If it's a rendering package you seek, I'd recommend Stone
Design's 3D Reality.

If the product can't be sold on it's own merits, I guess those
folks feel they need some sex-boost to make it sell.  However,
what they fail to nogram, they clearly
demonstrate their lack of ability to lay out a scene correctly.

what they fail to notice is that if it can't sell on it's own
merits, there's no reason for anyone to buy it.  If it's that
good, show screen shots, show panels associated with the
program, show the program in action, not some sexist drivel. 

Someone that both these companies can learn from is Stone
Design.  No b.s. with Stone Design.  They talk about their
product, and only their product.  They realize that their
products can sell based on the fact that they are high-quality
merchandise.  The only thing I would suggest to them is to change
the color of the word "Design" in their logo to something that is
a little more readable. 

NeXT app companies who seek to advertise: please don't fall
into the trap of offending your readers because you think that
'sex sells'.  It doesn't reflect well on people you'd like to
make your customers; men and women alike.  Just because the
people in Computer Shopper do it (among o
