Aladdin4D is basically...in one word..."Rubbish". I`ve used it only a tiny bit and wasn`t impressed. Also, have you seen the example renders? They explain why nobody uses it :-)
I do a bit of graphics work (when I have time). I use ImageFX4,TVPaint,DPaint5,Perfect Paint,Image Studio,Candyfactory, Lightwave...erm..and probably other stuff too.
