 Just yesterday I received a notice from Byte by Byte that they
will be offereing a product called sculpt 3dXL(or something like
that) RSN.  It sounds as if it is basically an upgrade of sculpt
3D.  It costs 79.95 to upgrade from sculpt 3d, probably inthe
100-200 dollar range new.  The flyer said that the triview is
"improved" and runs faster.  I think there is one new texture
available too.  If you have your heart set on a version of sculpt,
you might wait for this,  The flyer implyed it is available now,
but you know how those things are. :-) As for sculpt 4d Jr., if I
am not mistaken, it is basically a 3d modelling program.  I believe
it does not include the ability to do ray tracings.
