	Hmmmmm. The last time tried to do the rocker on a stock amiga,
rendering time was like 15 hours. Your time for rocker falls into my prediction
for floating point acceleration. My upgrade of Sculpt3d claimed 300%
improvement over the previous package. Looks like your improvement for the
versions you have. Settings for rendering make a big difference in rendering 
times. I guess I'll have to try again, although I don't like tying my Amiga
up to do this. 

	Anybody else tried rendering rocker?

	This is really strange.
