- 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

- 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-)
