VisualMill | | RiverRacer,
You should also consider VisualMill by Mecsoft, or the RhinoCam flavor of the same product. We have been using VisualMill for a long time and it has gone from good to great with the recent release of version 6.0. We use the pro version, but if you are on a really tight budget the basic version has approximately 70% of the functionality at 25% of the price. I believe you can upgrade from basic to pro at any time.
I've not seen the latest version of SmartCam but I do know that it was one of two very good products (Camax Camand - was the other one - that I used prior to VisualMill) that were purchased by SDRC and subsequently put on the shelf. UG ended up buying SDRC. I heard that Point Control bought back the rights to SmartCam about 3 years ago, but I suspect that they may have a lot of catching up to do.
Good Luck! |
