- You're not kidding. "3DReality is a polygon based renderer". Oh God. That
- single statement conveys more ignorance about what RenderMan (hence the 3DKit,
- hence Stone's 3DReality) is about, I cringed. As for the image they printed as
- "here's what you can do after using the app for awhile"...
-
- Anybody that wants NeXTMail of spiff images you can do with 3DReality, let me
- know. I'll take a few minutes and crank something out.
