- You must be right, because if you can get any quality at all out of
- 3DS you must be a GOD and God can't be wrong. Damn, this really screws
- things up for me. Now I've got to stop doing all those film and TV
- effects with Lightwave. No wonder Steven Spielberg likes the Lightwave
- effects he's seen--he's obviously never seen anything done on 3DS.
- (Actually, I don't know anyone who HAS. Which major Hollywood companies
- did you say are using it?)
- Well, I guess it's time to call all the other effects houses and
- tell them to dump their copies of Lightwave. Boy, this will be a black
- day to be remembered for all time. I can just picture the phone call:
- "Hi, Ken? This is Fred. You've got to stop using Lighwave. I know it
- works great for you and that you've made tons of money with it but
- you've got to stop right now. Vern Shurtz was not impressed with it."
- OK, so 3DS will render circles around Lightwave. I don't need to
- render circles. Can it do spaceships, submarines, dinosaurs and things
- like that? As I said, I'm not too familiar with 3DS. Can it do other
- things besides circles? I have to agree with you about Lightwave's
- interface, it's sucks the bigtime you would have to spend learning 3DS
- and shrinks it down to the quickest learning curve in the industry.

- Hey Vern, you going to Cerritos Auto Square this weekend?
-
- Well, thanks again for the valuable info, it was very generous of you.
- I'm generous too; in fact I'd like to get the Shurtz off my back.

-
- PS: If you have any advice on how to do effects that look like cheap
- video games because they were done on 3DS I'd really appereciate it.
