Rather funny: In the latest BYTE (March '88), on page 80, in "What's New,"
there's the mention of "Tracer PC," a ray tracing package for the PC.
The blurb mentions that you need a Targa 24-bit graphics card or a Number Nine
Revolution 32-bit graphics board, a hard disk, and a math coprocessor. 
Apparently the software lets you move the camera around, change focal length,
provides arbitrary levels of antialiasing, reflections, refractions, etc...
Price, $3000.

4 pages later is a blurb (with a picture even, although somewhat green,
at least in my copy) about Sculpt 3D. After the description, the 
price... $99.95. 

Just wish they'd put those two blurbs side by side. 

BTW, that's about the only mention of the Amiga I found in this issue...
Except in some mail-order ads and the Manx ad. But next month's issue 
will have a review of A2000, apparently.
