Just curious Thorsten.

You said you could not see it, then how do you know if QTVr is faster?  Hmm?

Just curious, Im going to post an image done with QTVr if no one else has
done it.  solidThinking now lets you output to the VR format.

Have a great day.

BTW, im not a Mac user, and never will be :-)

Apple has integrated QuickTime VR into QuickTime 3 which is available for
Mac and Windows, is faster and has a much better quality.
