The Raptor at Siggraph was running 2 programs from Black Belt Systems 
(maker of Imagemaster) called WIN Morph & WIN FX which according to Black 
Belt are shipping now & they cost $499.00 together. The latest version of 
Real 3d was shown there running on a Raptor & Elastic Reality from 
Elastic Reality/ASDG was running on a Raptor too. I was told by a "Raptor 
Rep" that Sculpt was being ported over soon. There were a few other 
programs running, which I have forgotten.

Unfortunately, Screameret was only running at the Raptor booth & the 
NewTek rep was too busy demoing the Flyer to answer any questions. All 
the other NewTek reps could not answer ScreamerNet questions.

Hope this helps . .
