Thanks everyone for your help, I had been curious about after-market books and the such. I did download the current issue from 3dxtract and was wondering about their cd. Now I know that I should get the cd. :) I am going to order the boxed version via Element5. Yeah, I am one of those that likes to hold the box in my hand and dream. Sort of like an early Christmas. :) Anyone have an opinion of the training cd offered by Eovia? thanks, Louis
