Losing SA 4d is not that of a great loss ( in my opinion that is). The object editor was
really good, by the images rendered weren't that hot! I also use Turbo Silver. It has
produces really good images, but its editor is pityful. I use SA 4d to edit, interchange
to port the objects to TSilverto render the objects.
I'm waiting for the Imagine upgrade... from what I heard, it has a good editor. For the
 other raytracers, I'll haveto see them before I can comment them.
