Did you download the current issue of 3dXtract? It lists whats on earlier issues-which you WILL want to get. I am a real newbee--even to computors (73yo)-and have found the Quick Tour which comes with Carrara, the Tutes in the Manual, and all the free Tutes from the Eovia site and 3dXtract, combined with the learning from the Renderosity Carrara forum and the 3dXtract forums more than enough. I'me having the fun of my life!
