Just thought you all might be interested in an article in the
current MacWeek (I don't pay for it, they just send it.  I like
the pretty pictures...)

Datelined Austin, TX:

******************************************************************

Byte by Byte Corp is bringing its cutting-edge animation technology
to the Macintosh and working hard to convince Apple to come along
for the ride.
The Austin, Texas, company announced plans to port its popular
Sculpt-Animate 3D software program [there are other kinds?] for
the Commodore Amiga to the Macintosh II.
...
"We're hoping it does get ported over to the Macintosh because
it would give the program a lot of credibility," said Eric Rosenthal,
general manager of audio-visual systems engineering at ABC Television
in New York.
...
The Mac version, priced "somewhere around $1,000" and scheduled for
release in the fourth quarter, will expand on [the features supported
in the Amiga version], the company promises.
...
"We feel that we can save 75 percent of the time and money spent on
post-production work by using this program," Rosenthal said. "But so far
it doesn't run on a machine we can trust."
