In a few decades, will there be pictures like this about Carrara?

I have a monitor just like that sitting in my garage. Don't have the heart to get rid of it

Some years ago, a friend had some 5"floppies he wanted to copy to 3" floppies. I happened to have in my closet an old DOS machine with both drives, so he came over we did it. He left, and I exited Win 3.1 to a DOS C: prompt. I sat there looking at it, and asked my wife, "How do you turn this machine off?" She said, "There's a switch in the back." Oh, right.

Deluxe Paint was awesome for 2D animation, and Imagine or Lightwave for 3D. Many programs that started on the Amiga are still around today. Sadly Deluxe Paint is not one of them.

Hash Animation Apprentice was also one of the first 3d animation packages introduced on Amiga back in 1987 or so. Along with Lightwave3D, I think it was the first of its kind. The Amiga was great. Eventually bad busisness decisions kept it from being competitive against the PC or Mac, but it was years ahead of those machines technology wise.

Yeah, Hash is still around today. Caligari became Truespace, finally bought by Microsoft and had a free license for a period of time after that.

Hash is still around!? I'll have to check it out, because that brings back memories. I almost forgot all about Caligari and Truespace. That was the strangest program I think I ever saw. Just a weird interface and non-traditional workflow. You really had to make your first break into 3D with it to like it.
