I'm interested in knowing whether people consider
SPARCs a good platform for doing 3D modeling and
rendering.  I currently use a Silicon Graphics
4D/220, but have access to lots of Suns.  

What hardware/software combinations are available
for SPARC systems that would make them attractive
3D systems.  I would appreciate any opinions about
HOOPS, PEX and any other graphics software that
is out there.

Thanks a lot,
