Admittedly it was 12 months ago when I was looking at the Amiga, but I really
couldn't find anything that could compete with TOPAS or 3DS, that may have
changed. But with the recent upgrades to the above, I doubt there will be
anything quite that good (procedural shaders etc.) But I am willing to be
convinced.

I haven't seen it, my question would be what was done on Amiga, and what on
Mac, there are some very good packages available for Mac (includeing MacTopas)

I guess that may main concern in this thread is not really what the
Amiga/PC/Mac can/cannot do, just the attitude of some to others who clearly have
the experience to make at least some judegment about broadcast quality
animation. 8-)
