I posted this on comp.graphics some time ago and received no responses.
Perhaps some of you fellow Amigaphiles use Sun sparcstations as well
as Amigas and can answer these questions for me. I will be much obliged.
I need to acquire the following two programs for our imaging lab.
They must run on sparcstations.
1. A paint program -- We need a pixel-oriented program
(like Deluxe Paint for the Amiga) that permits image compositing and
touchup as well as from-scratch drawings.
2. A 3D object editor -- We need a program that will allow interactive
creation of 3D objects to be rendered using sunvision. Sunvision itself
has no such editor. There are a number of these available for the Amiga
e.g. Impulse's Imagine or NewTek's LightWave 3D. We need something
similar to this for a sparcstation. Sunvision has a renderman interface
so an object editor that creates renderman output would work.
Q: What programs are available either commercially or for free distribution?
Who are the distributors? What are the prices?
Q: Which of the above are the best? Are there lists of functionalites available?
Are there reviews available?
Thank-you
