- For Cyber stuff, check out E. Arthur Brown. Their catalog lists CAD-3D,
- CyberSculpt (which is also available from Lexicor now), etc. (I don't
- recall seeing CyberPaint in there, but then again, I wasn't that interested
- in it, as I have Lexicor's Prism Paint - which BTW is not all that expensive.)
- I also have Lexicor's Chronos-3D, which is pretty cool. It seems to have a
- few bugs, but I haven't talked to Lexicor about them yet - I have one more
- tutorial to work through, and then I'll have them all in one net :-) Chronos
- is a bit expensive at about $200, but it's probably the most powerful 3D
- animation program available for the ST/TT. And Lexicor, unlike Antic, is
- still around and supporting their stuff (they are even official Silicon
- Graphics s/w developers now, and are porting some of their Phase IV s/w to
- SGI machines). One thing though, Lexicor does not have their own 3D modeling
- program for the Atari - you need CAD-3D (and optionally CyberSculpt, etc.).
- Or, if you don't want to design your own objects, get Rosetta-3D and you can
- translate a host of different 3D object formats to Lexicor's .3D4 format to
- use with Chronos.
