anyone remember it? i was digging though my softwear today and found it. one problem, it doesnt seem to run on my computer anymore. using ATI 9050 and windows Xp (those are the to items i would think are messing with it)

I still have it. You might try running in XP's backwards compatability mode. I haven't had it loaded since 3 or 4 computers ago.

I still run it occasionally with the latest Windows XP update. I haven't set it up any differently from my other programs and I've had no problems at all.

The only problem I had with it was that you had to have a certain default printer installed to avoid getting and error 4, if I recall.

I have Ray Dream Studio 5.0 (Mac) I remember it required the 5.5 update to run in Mac OS 9.X (5.0 only ran in Sytem 8.x) Carrara has come a long way since the Ray Dream (and Infiniti-D) days!

I was a long time Ray Dream user, versions 4, 5 & 5.5. I purchased Carrara 1 when it came out, but was put off by the non standard interface, so until recently, continued to use RD 5.5 on my Athlon 2600+, 1 gig ram, XP and nVidia geforce card. I recently gave it away to someone getting started in 3D, as I bought Carrara 3 on EBay for under $40 and loved it so much I upgraded to version 5 a month later. RDS 5.5 ran fine in XP, but I have an nVidia card, so I think the problem is your graphics card. If you don't have Carrara I suggest you check EBay. They usually have 3 or 4 new in the box version 3s for sale, average price: $38.00. You can then upgrade to version 5 at Eovia if you like.

well, i have carrara 5 pro, it was just fun to try and play around with ray dream, got it working by the way, ATI hydravison was messing with it.

Lol I still use it when I need a simple model done to bring into C5. I like its modeling interface for spline modeling better. I find that it is still a very useful program and run=s great on my new system, Athlon 64x2 3800, 2GB RAM, Nvidia 6600TD 256MB PCIE card etc..
