Thanks for the quick reply. Looks like tons of stuff is cut from the standard version. The most important things that interest me are shader support, physics support and network support among a few other things that seem to be limited to just the pro version. I've heard of something called the Sphere engine which supports cool shaders such as parralax/offset mapping, reflection, refraction etc as well as shadows support and other recent technology. If i was to purchase the standard version would Sphere be fully functional with all its shader features etc accessible with the standard version? Also, i know theres the newton physics engine and many other third party additions. Could all of these be added to the standard edition to replace the missing advanced features only found in pro? Cheers!

P.S, what is the pricing for the sphere engine and where can i find a full description with feature listings and specifications? Ceers again!
