I agree with you Frank, regarding spending resources on higher priorities t
o improve C4.
You have a good point.  Amapi should be separate as a different product to
a different
audience.

But, I feel that one of the "high priorities"  in C4 would be to improve Ca
rrara modeling
capabilities to be at least equal to Amapi 7.

Amapi is marketed as a powerful modeler with advanced modeling capabilities
.

My question is: why is Eovia putting more effort into making Amapi "The Mod
eling
Package" and not give us the same modeling power in Carrara?  They can stil
l keep Amapi
separate for Amapi users, but lets improve the Carrara's modeling capabilit
ies so that
Carrara users don't even have to touch Amapi.

In summary, better modeling and better animation capabilities are a high pr
iority in my
book.

Does anyone else feel the same?


Cheers,
Bill
