this was mentioned as a 'minor' upgrade. UV is not clearly understood by a lot of people. With carrara's new ability to properly handle obj uv mapping, it puts C2 in a whole new bracket. No more 'stills only' or 'cartoon animations only' you can now do things as detailed as seen in the latest star wars in the collisium (sp?) with amidala, anikan, and obiwan. this is not a small thing...its HUGE. Combine that will all the other very cool tools and things carrara can do...you've got a mini maya, lightwave or 3ds max at a price anyone can afford! BT
