You can download a fully functional, PC or Mac, no time limit version of AMAPI 4.51 at the above link. Includes license password and serial number. Maybe this is old news but I just came across it. The TGS site has a demo version of v5.15 for the latest look at that program, but it's a demo. Very cool though. Mark

Very cool. Thanks Mark! Clint

lol..wheres all the mirrors at? :)

you can also get it in this month's issue (#9) of 3D World Magazine too - In Depth is limiting the downloads to 120 per day so if you can't get it there try the mag

Thanks Mark! Tony

I played with it for about 10 minutes & it seems OK. I do hope that Evio incorporates some of the modeling features into Carrara (like skinning) & not replace the render engin on Amapi with Cs'. I like the UI in C much better (& the UI in RDS better still). At least it didn't crash & the price is right, looking forward to the lateast version!

I couldn't find 3D World Magazine locally so I purchased the February issue directly from the publisher. I cost aproximately $11.50 and they estimated delivery at 14 days. Oh well, at least I'll have it on a CD.

It appears that the page is gone. Anyone know what's up or where any other download site is? By, the way, I just got my copy of Poser Pro Pack and for those of you who want to get your characters into Poser, this thing rocks. The bones feature is worth the price alone. Check it out!

The multi-view works just like in Carrara except there are a couple of more combinations. In other software, this would be considered a major numerical upgrade as you wind up with almost a completely new Poser after installing the pack. They have really listened to the user base and packed a lot of improvement in this "pack". The only difficulty with bones I'm having (I'm busy converting my western worms to Poser figures to make animating them easier) is aligning the bones properly; meaning that as long as things are fairly straight and symmetrical it's pretty easy, but if you have several items that curve, such as curved fingers, then alignment is more challenging. I think the problem is that all the other bones are visible behind the ones you're working on; all the white lines and triangles get confusing. This will just take practice to overcome, hopefully. So, as a tip for creating figures in Carrara (or elsewhere) to go into Poser, keep all the elements and poses as straight as possible to make "boning" easier. My question to Curious Labs is if they are preparing a plugin for Carrara as they have for 3DS and Lightwave. Poser seems to have much more in common with Carrara than the other two. I've written them with that question. mclarsen

Looks like Im going to have to pick up the Pro Pack as well. Thanks for the info McLarsen. Also - Keep us updated if you hear back from Curious Labs. Regards, Clint
