I am in possession of a real Carrara 5 Pro boxed version. Here is what I expected; a detailed manual, beautifully illustrated with tutorials on what to make with splines, vertex, and the mysterious meatball object (you know like the manual I received with MetaCreations Raydream 3D-perhaps you don’t). What I really received was a box (large enough for a detailed manual), two CD’s one the application CD, the other a CD containing worthless advertising and a foldout chart with worthless keystroke functions for operations that are easily accessible by functions within a given room be it assembly, model, storybook, texture or render.   The box is real purdy though. Oh yes did I mention that it comes with a .pdf manual that gives the Poser manual a good name. 

Yeah, I want a lap manual too.
