Katherine - It did provide the infos on Shade. That it's Shade 7 designer LE. A week ago or so I was trying to make up my mind about what supplying 3D software I should buy and I did ran across Shade and lots of other , I just didn't remember excatley what it was before I went back to CL's site. So it was a nice surprise because Shade was one of the programs I had thought about buying if non of the free 3D programs was what I wanted.
