If you have ever watched TV or been to the movies you have seen the work of this excellent 3d package! It has a few wierd quirks but its renderer is the best in the business! For a 1000 bucks its a steal compared to the $7500 it used to cost a few years ago! Nice, free, multiplatform network renderer included in the package, get all of your art departments Mac, Windows and unix boxes working on that animation that was due yesterday!
