Well, it does have a nice name. Other then that I have no working expierience with it. I've used Strata, Infin-D, RDS & Carrara & would like to find something similar to RDS. I really have no need for animation & wish that the "big guys" would make that a seperate plug-in instead making options for the practicle stuff like "rendering & texturing". That's why I liked RDS/C, they were all-inclusive (for the most part). Hash, Pixles3D & Cinama4DXL look fairly good. If Amapi has a "great" offer I might force myself to learn it but I'm not thrilled with its UI either.
