- Of course it can.

- But the real issue here as to why they used 3DS is this: It's marketing.
- Plain and simple. I would be willing to bet that Autodesk has a finacial
- intrest in the movie too. I mean, Sony Pictures is marketing this movie
- pretty big. There's the movie, theres the video game, theres the
- "scavanger hunt on the net" deal, and they play up the fact that the
- effects were done in 3DS! Why? So people out there new to 3D will say
- "Gee, I want 3DS because they used it on that Johnny Mnemonic flick".
-
- I don't think they used 3DS because it's so great, they used it so they
- could market it better. But that's just my opinion...I could be wrong.
