I purchased a licence of Softimage 3D Extreme 4.0 shortly after they discounted version 4 due to discontinuing the 3D version.  I think I paid $2500 CAD in 2004.  

Silly questions

What is the difference between softimage 3d base and softimage 3d GT?   Also why does the tool chest not include the Phoenix tools particles program?

Thanks.

"base" doesn't have MR or particle effects, and I *think* "GT" is what you used when you wanted to invoke any of the various game console output/conversion tools for exporting to playstation, n64, etc.
