Real 3d vs Lightwave

[Amithony]

Has anyone had a chance to take both of these babies for a spin? If so, which did you prefer?

Lightwave has always been easier to use than Real3D for me. But then we all have different views!  ;-)

Love the specs on your machine. How much did it cost you to deck out? Im leaning toward lightwave at the moment.

LOL. I appreciate the predicament. You should really only have 1 true love (Amiga) It does mean girlfriend and im sure you can write a script for it to kickstart a robotic arm or conveyor to get the beer. Else, I was going to suggest a beer fridge local to the machine...(cooling purposes of course Let me know if you need it (the a4000) to go to a good home in beautiful Sydney Australia when you get to that stage.

I imagine it will be a time yet, but when I get my first bonus, I'll be shopping big. Please keep me in the loop. What price would you consider? Feel free to be liberal with a guestimate.  

PS: I pay in GBP too

That was the excuse I was throwing around. I need one for the wireframes, one for the shading, one for general use and one for spare parts... oh and did i mention that I was going to use my idle processor time in the SETI program. Maybe the aliens have A5000's with a AAA chipset, they are pretty advanced you know

So what was their True value? Don't count on not selling it at value though. If it were up, id be contacting my credit card company to double my limit. It breaks the heart to see such good machines taken to pieces. At least until production starts on the AAA some day
