I know what the trick question is: Who won the mascot naming contest?

You have a subtle humour!

Here is Modo, not the best or most poplar out there but very competent, just for comparison:

Also compare to what is probably the best value package out there, that old stand-by Bryce:

Taken in the context of Amiga, A4D is not bad at all. But it's years out of date compared to other packages, and a lot of those packages it didn't even compare favorably with ten years ago. Clearly it has a long, long way to go before becoming a "darling" in the cg world.

@jorkany

Your right, Bryce & Modo are very cool programs. Sadly Bryce & Modo are not available for Amiga OS, MorphOS or AROS. We are working hard to update Aladdin 4D.
