So Commercial Digital Cinema use's something different. yeah they sure are. Its the way it works. Its like versions of software, the industry will always have the newest version which will then be written upon for improvements to pipelines, then usually a version of that will be introduced to the public. Its also like the muscle plugin for maya, how long ago was gollum created using this stuff? The consumer will get the technology in about 5 years time when its made more feasible for home use...or out of date as far as big companies are concerned Jay
