For a working example look out for Dorlingly Kindersley's forthcoming Dinosaur CD-Rom. Some of you may have seen Cat and Bird which were produced on the Mac - Dinosaur is 100% 3d studio. I've seen a preveiw and it looks amazing. In many ways it looks better than myst - which it looks a bit like. As for 3d studio Max - well I use my Mac a lot, but not for 3d (well maybe KPT bryce).
