Good point but don't forget that they also dumped Painter and Bryce which
also had some of the strongest name recognition in their respective
categories. I learned never to under estimated the dumb moves Metacreation
was capable of.

PS Having been with RayDream back around version 1 or 2 and having been with
it through all the companies that have owned it, I have to say that Eovia
seems to have their act together. Updates are coming out at regular
intervals and what Eovia is releasing is pretty solid from a bug stand
point. Their are still a number of areas that need to be corrected but once
these guys attack an area the results are very good. For this reason I
really believe Carrara has a bright future and I'm looking forward to
version 4 with the animation fixes. I'm also hoping they tackle the particle
system.

I think that number comes from days when there were really not that
much 3d programs available for personal computers.
If ray dream had 50% of ALL 3D users, why did metacreations gave it
up? Dumped the name? Went belly up? Honestly, that would mean that
would have been the most recognized 3d brand in the world.... I
think, it had to be something like 50 % of 3D users on personal
computers. Or 50% of 3D users on Mac. Or something like that.
Otherwise, it really doesn't make any sense.
