maya now has something called 'real time author' that lets you model all your 3d objects, then script behaviour and animations with the same object oriented interface (hypergraph) that you do everything else in.
you can export all your models along with the behaviours in lingo (director's scripting lang) and tweak to your heart's content. It's all on alias' website.
pretty cool considering the install base of maya on the creation side and shockwave on the user side.
but don't forget the cardinal rule of the shockwave plugin: you never have the right version. ever.
Not to poo-poo progress, but does anyone see a need for super-high res 15inch laptop monitors?
I've really been impressed by the Dell laptops though. I work at a design firm that does a lot of CAD stuff, and one of my co-workers used one to finish up a highly detailed Pro/Engineer model on a plane ride. That's pretty impressive, considering the video demands, as well as the fact that that kind of work is pretty painful on anything less than a 21"

so, aren't my old SGI and SUN monitors sync on green? Meaning, I should be able to use those 21 inch mothertruckers with the ps2?
