I just got the Carrara Bible a few days ago, and just now started into it. Much to my chagrin, The book and CD are written specifically for the PC version (I'm on a Mac), yet this was not mentioned in any of the publicity or descriptions. I'm not sure why the Mac version is ignored in a publication that calls itself "...BIBLE" since there is obviously a Mac user base for this program and, in fact, most of the core Metacreations line came out for the Mac first (Poser, Ray Dream, Bryce, Infini-D, etc.). Regardless, Carrara is almost identical on both platforms so using the book to dive further into the program is quite useful and almost justifies the price of the book. I can view the animations on the CD and can open the .bmp texture files in Photoshop to use, but I cannot make the Carrara shaders work. Does anyone have a suggestion for converting the shaders from PC to Mac or is this even possible? mclarsen
