The only similarity is that they're both 3D applications.
As with all 3D programs, there is a steep learning curve when it comes to getting results out of them.
Aladdin is very capable of extraodinary output, but, you really do need to follow the tutorials and read the docs to get satisfactory results.
Oh, having a fast machine helps as well (although that's a given with any 3D package).
Aladdin is system friendly and works with P96, so it should work through OS4's 68k emulation.
If you want 100% PPC code, I'd expect Nova to shift a large number of copies, before they'd consider ploughing resources into porting it.
