If you have't the time or the money when trying your expermintations on 3D applications, then this product is for you. I've used Strata for a couple years now, and it has taught me some very simple but effective 3D modelling and animation knowledge. Comming from a Computer Science background I was always fascinated in Computer graphics, and Strata was my first product. With it you get a very indepth set of manuals which take you step by step in modelling examples as well as animation examples. Not just take but version 2.5.3 is a real stunner. It comes with (plugins + reference manual) that really make a difference when created CG.

It has some limitations, and it requires quite a lot of memory on Macintosh systems (only used on Macintosh 9600/350), but for an entry 3D application, it is very easy to learn, and you will be creating CG in no time.

Conclusion: Though not the best in the 3D application software area, it does produce stunning CG/animation - (used in creating certain scenes for Hercules), it is very easy to learn and through that learning you may extend your 3D knowledge in other 3D software.

4 stars.
