this is really getting frustrating. ive laid this thing out several times already, which i suppose is my own fault, but...in the timeline, under Universe...right now i have 5 objects...the camera, 2 lights, and 2 text objects...when i try to add anymore than the 5 and save the file the objects dont get saved...i tried adding a couple particle emitters, a cube, and a couple of planes...which are showing up under Master Objects..but not in the actual scene...arrrgh...am i the only one thats had this problem with the program? i did do an uninstall and reinstall with carrara and the 2.1 update..which didnt help... i can change things with those initial 5 objects in the universe, but nothing else...this is just insanity...im gonna try to call eovia today, but ive got to wait a couple hours til they open...
