OH the full working demo can be downloaded for OSX or Windows at http//www.eovia.com/ Products - All Products - Carrara 3D Basic 2 The basic is full function with limited import and export, for the registered version it is $99 which is subtracted from the full studio cost if you decided to upgrade to the full studio. Sorry if this sounds kind of like an add. I was talking to them on the phone about this tutorual idea here and they were very helpful. The truth is this whole basic tutoral can be tried for free, no purchase required. That is what has me so excited. Plus the fact that they have been helpful and supportive earns them a few kind words.
