Hi, i'm new here, and thinking about buying AC3D. I have experience with 2D design, but I am entering the world of 3D. I am still rather young, so I don't have the kind of cash for lightwave 3D or anything, but AC3D has really appealed to me. I took the 14 day free trial, and really liked it, but I am confused about a few things. My questions proboably sound nobish of sorts, but I am still new to 3D.

1.) I have read the forums and I hear a lot about using other programs with ac3d. Are any other programs required?

2.) I also heard about updates. Do you have to pay for each new release? And if so, how much?

3.) I have been hearing about uv maps and parsing. Could someone explain those to me?

4.) How do you change the background color, in specific, make it transparent?

I will try to think up some other questions, but for now, those are all.
