Shade is ugly. It's boring. It reminds me about dark ages of mainframes and PDP. That's why I like it.
I don't know how and why, but when I watch stills made with Shade I want to breath that air. Carrara stills are very fine, but IMHO they look more artifical.
Amapi+Shade will be a good marriage.
I decided to step up to Pro version. Callisto is extremely

fast as compared with path tracing (juanmanuel, you has not tell me ALL the truth!!!

). I'm curious if Shade Pro will accept NURBS from OBJs exported from Amapi.
