Hi Folks! IMHO, Carrera will only be good if it brings into it some of the intuitive and pleasurable ease-of-use that marked so many of the old Specular products, such as Infini-D, LogoMotion, and TextureScape, all of which I still use. Although I began my experience in 3D computer graphics with Ray Dream Designer, by version 4 I had lost patience with the program. I never really mastered the use of channels, and just barely got the hang of shaders. The single-window interface made precision placement difficult until I customized itto four views in v5 of RDS. In contrast, I learned Infini-D in under four hours. This is not a knock on MetaC: I use Bryce and poser and I get along with their interfaces just fine. This is simply an expression of hope that the spirit of Specular and what made its products so much fun to use and teach will not die. Peter (Dr. Zik)
