I am looking to do some serious 3d animations- not simple looping demos,
but something with a plot.  I would like to have it ray traced with shadows
(don't we all) but with memory limitations, I could settle for simple
solid face coloring.  However, I am not sure which system is the most
suitable- I need a system with alot of control over objects and camera.
I have had experience with SCULPT-3d and found it good for frames, but
would need ANIMATE-3d for movement.  I have also heard of: PHOTON VIDEO (which
I understand is cell animation, not 3d?), SILVER, VIDEOSCAPE 3d, ANIMATOR
APPRENTICE,  et al.
Can someone with the knowledge help me make the decision?
