1440.0. "3-Demon by Mimetics" by WINERY::COLLUM () Thu May 26 1988 18:03

    Just picked up a copy of 3-Demon. It is a 3D object editor put out
    by Mimetics. I spent about 30 minutes playing around with it in
    the store and had to get one. I've been able to use the object editor
    with Sculpt-3D, but its never been real comfortable. 3-Demon is
    NICE! You edit the object in 3D perspective. It automatically shades
    the object so its obvious what you're doing. I've included the product
    description below. I'll play around with it tonight and add more
    info here.  Anyone else have this?
