I use ArtMatic and it is awesome! It is made by U & I software and developed by the one of the developers of Bryce. It has a very MetaCreations feel to it. U & I is in the process of porting it to OS X, so soon it will be native! It is awesome for creating animations, cool textures and excellent backgrounds. But let me let you in on a little secret. Eovia is most likley selling the CD version, as that product lists for $299. However you can buy the download version, and all the presets that come on the CD direcltey from U & I at a regular price of $249. So if you want instant satisfaction, tell Eovia to get the downloadable version or just go buy it from U & I software. By the by Eovia was selling this at there Macworld SF booth in Jan of this year. They were also demoing it and vtrack. This is the main reason I bought it, as it was so much fun to tinker with. Eovia had announced then that they would be the distributers, so I am not sure why they just announced it again.... -Paul
