Hi there - I have used Ray Dream Studio 5 a little bit over the last few years, but not very intensively. I'm wondering a few things I am hoping some of you can answer: 1) Physics - never got going with it in RDS; how do the physics in 5.5 compare to Carrara? 2) Rendering - I think I read that Carrara doesn't output animation in NTSC 29.97 fps format... What I want to do is make animations I can dump to my digital video camera, but I believe I need to be able to render at this rate. Is there a way to do this with either package? I have Adobe Premiere and After Effects, but I can't remember if I can translate existing "footage" to 29.97. 3) I heard there are some open issues with Carrara, but not what they were. Could someone let me know? That's all for now - thanks in advance! Andrew
