- The Amiga is essentially dead in rendering circles. They're just too
- slow and too expensive to compete even a little bit. Nobody serious
- about rendering is doing it on an Amiga these days, except for a few
- hobbyists who haven't woken up yet.
-
- All the shows like B5, SQ etc moved off of Amigas a LONG time ago.
- That, coupled with the demise of Amiga LW, and the total lack of
- Amiga OpenGL hardware, well, lets just say the writing is on the wall
- here.
