3D Studio has not half the quality of any Strata program. On the other 
side Studio Pro is ten times as fast, as Studio Pro (got the comparison 
2 min. with Blitz and 20 min. with 3D Studio). First is a PowerMac 7500 
and the other is Pentium 150. Forget about rendering on the lame wintels 
(is win95 multiprocessing complaint ? :o) ). Next time get real facts 
:o) .
