Hi folks,
I came across a stack of old 3D Design magazines I had saved from my college years last night, and found in the February 1997 issue this article reviewing the "new" (at the time) SGI O2 system running Alias/Wavefront PowerAnimator. I scanned the pages this morning and made the attached pdf of it. The same magazine also had a couple of adverts from SGI and AW, so I've scanned and attached them as well.

Enjoy!

-Matt

Excellent, I don't recall these ones either. Thanks for sharing these!

I love how SGI used to capitalize much on its presence in the film industry, that made a very strong impression (also on me).
