From: Ambimind : "Its not free ..."

Not even near: With 800 Euros for the entry version and 4500 Euros for the professional version, once it leaves beta, according to their resellers' website (http://www.3dcyberdream.com/index.php?mnav=0103&id=21), this is not a software that I would categorise under "easy on the budget".

From: Ambimind : "The only downside [...] is slow rendering speed".

We have fidderent, eh, different priorities, obviously ;)


Edit i: It seems one needs the pro version to render nurbs surfaces. I guess I will stay with exporting obj format for a loooong time. And with my trusted Thea render @ 300 Euros.
