- About three or four months ago I went to a little demo/seminar thingie
- put on by a computer dealership called The Micro Boutique. One of the
- pieces of software they presented was "Alias Sketch" -- not an animation
- package, but a 3D modeller and renderer. As of that time it was only
- available for Macs (and it still crawled on a Quadra!), but the Alias rep
- said that a Windows version was in the works. Perhaps this is the same
- package you were talking about.
