Hello, I just bought Carrara 1.1. I am using it on a Powerbook G3 Pismo and have given the program over 200 megs of Ram. It freezes and crashes. It does the same on my g4 733. I have turned off the most obvious possible extension conflicts. I am running 9.2.2. Is the program stable? I need to make some animations for a Alternative Energy video for schools: turbines turning, a rocket ship taking off (part of the story line) cars circling the earth like satellites and more. Will Carrara do all this well and relatively easily? I have tried having a rocket lift off using the "atmosphere>wind" settings (which is the "sky" settings in 2.0) and the horizon does not move even when the camera tilts? any suggestions? And the settings for the particle generator seem difficult. I play with them and they don't work the way i think they should. anyone know of a good tutorial for those. I need to make fire shoot out of the rocket. I need to have the rocket fly over a barren land. Will the terrain generator work well for that? Thank you for any and all help, John
