Animasia 3D

[ltchean@rambutan.iss.nus.sg (lim thye chean)]

I am extremely interested in a new GS program called Animasia 3D.

Anybody has seen it, or know more about it, please send me some detail.

I am especially interested to know:

1. How beautiful (or ugly) the result is? With only 16 colours?
   - I have seen the 3D demos done by the same author in GS+.
     To be honest, the dithered result in 320 mode is very bad.
     Just hope the program can let me paint in 16 colours grey scale.

2. How is the animation? How easy is to create the animation?
   - Shall we create frame by frame?
   - Can we just rotate the camera to say frame 8 and let the program
     handled the changes from frame 1 to 7 (just like in 3D Studio)?
   - How fast is the final result? 10 frames per second?

3. Does it handled things like material, transparency, light source, etc?
   Does it do ray tracing?

4. Am I asking too much? Oh, basically I am looking forward to a program
   similar to 3D Studio, but I do not think I can get anywhere near 50% of
   its feature in Animasia 3D. Please prove me wrong.


Thanks for any info.
