Yeah, you gotta love free software on these mags, except when you paid full price for them! Doh!.. But hey Stitcher 3.1 is on the August mag and it is great. I almost bought it a year or so ago, but bought VR worx instead as it was easier and half the price. Glad I waited. The cool thing about the Free stitcher is that it is not limited at all. The C4D a few months ago is limited to I think 640 X 480 renders (?). But you can pay $99 and unlock that. Also Stitcher 3.1 allows you to make HDRI panos and full cubic too. Is Amapi 6 any more stable then 5? I have not had good luck with any version of Amapi, including 7.1 that I just downloaded the demo for. I can get them to crash with little effort. I am on a Mac DP G5 with 1GB RAM. I tried 5.15 on my PC too and it was still very glitchy. Regards, Paul
