Yeah. Thats what I love about Carrara. I've used many other programs. And none have the speed and simplicity you get with Carrara. I'm working on a few short films, and I will tell you, that with settings cranked up, rendering out at 640x480 I get an average of 3 minutes per frame. And thats with 4-5 lights, over 40 objects, a load of textures, two particle generators, and of course lots of animation:) And if you are still debating it. You get Carrara Pro for free if you buy Carrara 3. I'd say its well worth it for what you get:) Brian
