Likes: Well, I LIKE the interface, it may just be from hadit but I find it easier to use than other programs. Ease of import of Poser models, both for final work and for modeling with, this is one of the main reason I started with Carrara 1 since it worked with Poser models at their native scale. It is still a plus but see dislikes... Fast rendering. The new morphing tools. The UV mapping tools. The texture tree format and operations. Dislikes: The "distortion" when working with poser scaled models in the vertex room, the edges and vertices don't line up and this can be a real pain. Unless I've missed it, there is no way to export a model in the morphed shape(with morphs set to 1+ when you save the model as an object it saves to the default shape, morph at 0) Improve the manual to cover the new features in depth. A tutorial or two on uv mapping, morphing, rigging etc. would go a long way. THe manual seems to have been the same since ver. 1 witha couple of paragraphs about the new feaures edited in... That's about it for me, mike
