Yes, the good old times... I still have my first serious animation 
project around, dating back to early 94, which was a flight through a 
house where we added a "virtual" extension. Back then, we tried to sell 
3D Studio v2 to interior designers... Mind you, having had my computer 
busy several nights for a rather bland looking result didn't convince 
too many people, and something like 24h for a single frame in a 
printable quality that had some reflections wasn't exactly inspiring 
either. Yes, we were lusting for Silicon Graphics machines back then, 
but didn't have $100k+ sitting in the bank...

Sadly, I never really got into the whole animation thing except the 
occasional side project, as I was always busy writing software instead 
of using it...

Bye
Martin
