WOW! I was particularly impressed with the stated ability to import models with textures on them. I have the Demo and will imstall it as soon as i have time to play around with what seems to be a good solution for my problems (plantary creation ones , anyway, hehe) Can i do the following? 1)Create models in Carrara 2)export them to Vue 3) Animate them with textures intact? 4) Render an awesome short movie. I think Carrara supports 3DS format, not sure if its with textures or not. Can I create space scenes, like a planet viewed from orbit? if you can answer these questions and any others that you think are relevant, I would be highly appreciative. I does look like I will be $200 poorer but one great app richer. Qapla, Zhukov
