Hi MAC,

thanks for the info on FumeFX. Found some tutorials
youtube stuff to get another glimpse at it.

http://www.3dtotal.com/team/Tutorials_3/fumefx/fumefx01.asp

http://youtube.com/watch?v=JljSUt-ufZI

It would be lovely to have acess to such an engine
along with a dynamics system that gives full control...

Oh, and I didn´t want to suggest you - in person - where
less than fond with si support, that was meant as a reply
geared to the article/comparison chart that started this thread.

Cheers

tim
