Quote - Not true, unless history has been re-written.

Sorry, it wasn't Strata, it was Infini-D.  The material structure and renderer in Carrara are a direct descendant of RayDream Studio, and so is the triple-plane, box workspace.  I mix up Infini with Strata.  They were both CAD-like, and very similar.

Still, Strata was around before Carrara.  Carrara was about 1999.  Strata is older than that.
