Look forward to seeing the review, thanks for taking time to let us (not so
fortunate) folks know..
I hope you kick the heck out of it as that can only help smooth out the
bumps. ;)

Subject: [Carrara] Re: Carrara Interface
I have the new c5-beta and while the interface is different, it is
still like "coming home". Things are a bit more organized and I feel
more friendly to use. There are some 'not so apparent' interactions
with the new improvement, but still not a big problem.
Im currently putting it thru the paces...and some tough hurdles
indeed... and hope to post a small review of it in a few days at the
renderosity carrara forum.
however, for those that are curious...
my impression thus far is that this is a "serious" upgrade and is
well worth the upgrade price. The particle engine alone is just a
whole topic unto itself. Im pushing it VERY hard, and while I have
managed to crash it...I was doing things that C was telling me not to
do via message boxes. (heh)
