Hi Jean,
More to the point where were all you character animation heads when I have
been popping mails up every so often about the need for improved char anim
features in RS? [ Had to get the dig in :) ]
So you use PM with models from RS? Any way to point us at some animations
you have done. I for one would be interested to hear your workflow and
thoughts on this. Matthias has already added his thoughts, much appreciated.
If RS had focused character animation features like PM - wow - then no need
for any other app. I love RS for Modelling and I like the finished renders.
I am not too aggrieved at the render times, they feel ok to me.
Good to hear from another RS / PM user. Hints, Tips and tricks always
appreciated AND if possible added to the WIKI. Import / Export.
I think RS and PM together has great possibilities. Even more so if they
ever got more officially integrated,
Cheers
Aidan

Wow, how many peoples are already using projectmessiah besides me? (here on
the realsoft newsletter)
I model in realsoft.
I texture in UVMapperPro.
I sleep on my chair.
I animate and render in messiahworkstation.
I don't understant why some people want to animate in messiah and export
back to realsoft or any other package.
Messiah is a standalone software now?
My main concern about chosing an application now is only rendering time.
To equal the rendering time of Messiah with Realsoft it would cost me 10
000$ in computer.
I think that since all 3D application are basicaly the same (more or less).
I mean you can do almost anything you can think of.
The only difference worth noticing is rendering time.
The choice of a renderer is a cheaper solution than buying better computer.
Pure raytracing is the best method. One day it will be the only methode used
(when cpu cycles won't matter). Maybe Realsoft should ofer a temporary
Hybrid-Method (Scanline-Raytracing).
I have abandoned Shade because the rendering times are too long.
I have never used Realsoft for rendering because it is too long (even
preview rendering).
With ProjectMessiah I do 20 times more test rendering.
That means a lot more control over the final image.
The main problem of Realsoft as many other applicatoin is not animation, it
is rendering time.
