These timings are done with an Amiga 1000, CSA 68020/68881, 1MB 32bit ram, and 6MB 16 bit ram. 3D refers to the regular distribution of Sculpt 3D and 3D8 refers to the version offered that utlizes the 68020/68881. Scene 3D 3D8 Apple 00:28 00:14 Boing 00:30 00:15 Rocker 39:30 12:36 This may or may not constitute considerable improvement for some. I should know better than use such a relative term. When I first received the package I tried the rocker and I knew that the 3D8 package was faster. I hope the timings help. In terms of the library support for the 68881 under 1.2 I was basing my comments on my own observations. The system as received from CSA did not mention a replacement library for 68881 support. One example that was sent was a Basic program with some hand code implemented. I am using the Absoft Turbo Fortran which does support the 68020/68881.
