The Eclipse  (Poser and 3DS Version)

By Hankster  (Hankster@shaw.ca)

PROGRAM/HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

This Poser version of the product has been tested with Poser Versions 4 and 5 to 
ensure that it functions properly.

The 3DS model has been tested with several different 3D software aplications (3D 
Studio Max 3 and higher, Vue d'Esprit 4, & Bryce 5) and file format translators 
(3D Exploration) to ensure that it can be imported properly. It would not be possible
to test the model with every 3D program on the market so there is no guarantee that
it will work with all 3D programs. 

A Pentium III system with 512MB of RAM  would be the recommended hardware requirement
for using this model. The complete model with all the extra parts is approximately
300,000 polygons.
