I've been using Strata for years and I love it (Mac) Few things tho: My information tells me that you do not get all the best renderers with the free d'load. The "official" Pro version is supposed to be out later in the summer and will contain all the renderers and all the CD add ons that have been published in the past two years. (not too expen$ive according to my sources) Strata is VERY interested in supporting .OBJ but is still in the process of getting its feet underneath itself (again) so no .OBJ support is forthcoming. The above statement also hold true for Poser figs. Truth be told with the exception of Poser I have never had any trouble importing from any of a variety of sources. I've been suggesting to them strongly that they should get in contact with Curious Labs. In many respedcts they both are at the same point in their respective businesses. For that matter maybe Curious Labs should contact them. But now I'm rambling I have rarely met a group of people more open to helping the aspiring add-on writer. Going to 3D.com (the user site for Strata et al) you will find there are many resources that can be called upon. I'd love to see .OBJ and so would they. Anybody up for it?
