1289.0. "Animate-3D" by LRGFMT::COLLUM () Fri Apr 01 1988 19:32

    Anyone out there using Animate 3-d? I did a quick search of titles
    but couldn't find anything close. I also understand that Sculpt3-d
    is coming out with new features (texture mapping, etc). I've currently
    got version 1.102. Is there a later version?

    Hold off a bit on Animate-3D.  Plink reports have found a number
    of annoying bugs.  
    
    I got a letter from BbB a while back announcing 68020/68881 versions
    and a special version for the MicroBotics 68881 board, which I have.
    Still haven't seen or heard of these version.

  and Sculpt 3d.

    	I have Animate-3D and it runs very well. Durring installation
    it combines with Sculpt-3d to make one larger program.
    
    	I called byte by byte and ordered the 68020/68881 version. When
    I called they knew exactly what I was talking about and asked who's
    68020/68881 card I was using. $35 and one week later I recieved
    the new disk ( version 1.102 ). The new disk contained both the
    68020/68881 version as well as the normal version. The readme
    file states that the 68020/68881 version will not run on a straight
    Amiga. They are correct. The disk also came with some new examples
    and a couple of support programs. To say the least I was very happy
    with the service.
    
    	If you have any questions about new features I suggest you call
    them. They have always been happy to talk about future features.
    In fact I was told of the 68881 support almost a year before it
    was out. Just don't get mad if futures take a little longer than
    they think.
