I don't know where you'd get a demo unless curious labs have one on their web site. I went straight into P5 about a year ago having never done any 3D work before. It's a monster programme with lots to learn but at the same time it's easy to get into and well worth it. Check out my gallery, I've left my very first images (last page) to compare with what I do now (1st page). I learn something new every day and there's lot's of good people here who will help if you get stuck (SVDL, B_peacock, paco, Dr geep, etc.. Bite the bullet and buy it and then kiss the rest of your life goodbye; It really is "THAT" addictive.

Injustice will be avenged.
