According to the latest issue of 3D Design, the Millenium will do about 190000
polys/sec. It's be double-buffered, have gouraud shading, "instant zoom", colour
dithering, "CAD rendering", real-time shading/rotation/animation, and "more". (-:
Right now it only supports Dynaview 2d/3d for A***CAD and Microstation, Asymetrix
3d FX, and CompCore SoftPeg.
As far as APIs, it'll do Intel 3DR, OpenGL, Reality Lab, and RenderWare.
It comes in 2, 4, and 8 meg flavours and does 16.7M in 1600x1200.
That's as far as 3D design goes.
