I almost bought into it because they bundled a bunch of plug-ins and Amapi 5X with it. I almost bought it, but then I realized that I just needed the patch. I really felt cheated by Metacretions with the initial realize of Carrara. It sucked. It had all these incredible features that just didn't work. The patch that we got from Eovia kind of alleviated the worst ones. Then I got Carrara 2 just to realize that it didn't work good with my current system (Mac OS X 10.1.5). At least it still work good on system 9.2.2. I still couldn't take real advantage of my new dual processor Mac since It was running on system 10.2 with the next patch. I had to weight till this patch to really get what I should have gotten a long time ago. I have been patient with Eovia because I know that they are not a huge software company like Adobe or Macromedia. It looks like they are finally there with this patch. I haven't tested it toughly but what I have used works good so far. I think that my patients has been finally rewarded. It looks like Carrara 2.1 Rocks.
