Summary: Cool and Easy
Review: This is very easy to use and it has lots of good textures. I have made lots of amazing stuff because of this software. I made good details to my models. But it doesn't have a IK stucture. When I tried to make charcters to my models, it is colorful, but when I tried to animate it, it doesn't move like real charcters. But it is cool that I can make my own movies and animations. But sometimes it takes long time to render. Although this pruduct is easy to use. GET IT!

Summary: Animation and modelling is a breeze
Review: This product is very easy to use. The animation tools are good too. I did use POVRay with Moray, but I'm convinced that this product is easier. It allows you to scale textures in real-time (using OpenGL) so that you can see the immeadiate results. Also, you can run a test animation in wire-frame mode - or in flat mode (no shadows or textures) in a fraction of the time it takes for a fully rendered animation.

It directly imports dxf and 3ds files - so all those models on the web can be used. The manual is easy to understand and has everything well documented.
