Frankly, just in the few threads that I've read through here in the Carrara forum -- I've seen so much griping stemming from the subject of 'symmetrical modeling' that it makes me want to oppose its inclusion in Carrara merely on general principles........and I don't even own Carrara.

As for Vue and indoor scenes: I've just had difficulty getting excellent results along the way. Ah, well -- my own lack of serious skill with the program might be the underlying explanation. I'm a 3D dabbler. It's something that I do in my spare time -- a hobby. And my 'spare time' tends to be limited these days.

The images in the Carrara gallery are a mixed bag. Those aficionados with skill and/or talent can produce wonderful images. Beginners and the less talented produce......good-to-fair images.

Sounds a lot like Poser.

Carrara isn't Lightwave. But it shows promise.

I'm looking at Lightwave, too. And have been for a while now. Out of all of the apps that I've researched, Lightwave seems to have the 'realistic render' thing down out of the box.

We'll see. I'll have to think about it.
