I just picked up the December issue of the UK magazine PC Plus, the only general interest PC mag that I ever find interesting these days. I do not find their reviewers prone to hyperbole or to glossing over negative points. Having said that, make what you will of the following...
The review was of a new 3D program Movie3D supplied by a company called Aist. From the review: "It is a full 3D modelling and rendering package and, without question, the best value one ever to come under the PC Plus spotlight. Bryce, trueSpace, Amorphium and Amapi all pale in comparison."
OK, but maybe not relevant to the aspiring professional or heavy-duty amateur artist, but then they say: "For a mere £129 you get a package that is both as powerful and flexible as many of the big names in the industry, such as 3D Studio Max or Lightwave, not to mention coming with some high-end features that you would ordinarily expect to have to buy a plug-in for, such as scene chareography." Heady stuff, if true. Any corroborating or contrary experience out there?
The program must be very new because it is hard to find a web page besides this one: http://www.aist.com/products/movie3d/movie3d.html
on the Aist or any other sites.

Do you want to use the red fork, or the blue fork?
