Whoa Jim! Hold it right there! PovRay is powerful, yes. However, it doesn't
come near 3D Studio. I know 3DS costs a *lot* more. But you can't really
argue that PovRay is better. 3DS is the choice of serious 3D professionals,
IMHO. Where are the easy to edit inverse kinematics, the very powerful and
quick material library, and where is the speed? 3DS on a render farm over a
network is lightning fast, even with quite large animations of complex
scenes.
