Nope, Actually, I did get to use Byte by Byte's 3D product on the Amiga. The company was based here in Austin. Funny, tomorrow I'm meeting with the old CEO of Byte by Byte to talk about using Rev on a new Enterprise CRM app he's starting up. Small world indeed! Back in the old days, just about every decent 3D package used dongles--- many still do. Though most of the companies I know of have very customer friendly ways of dealing with lost dongles. In fact, Jim Plant, CEO of Newtek told me he wasn't too concerned as he's mostly interested in helping his customers. If more than a few were lost by the same company over a short period of time, he might become worried. The simple matter in the 3D world is, if you steal the product (thus not supporting it), you may find the company no longer around later on!
This is all very true. I remember Byte by Byte's product. There were a few cool 3D apps on the Amiga including Newtek's Video Toaster and accompanying software. I am currently using Carrara and Hexagon which do not use dongles.
