I've been struggling with this question for a slightly different reason. I need to recreate topography fairly accurately for fly-overs and such, and the main draw of Vue was its ability to read DEM files. I ran a demo of Ground Control (Digital Carvers Guild) and I'm worried about the detail level I can import to Carrara. My results were much cruder than what I could get in Vue 4 from the same DEM file. However, DCG demos are limited by "crudity." For example, Anything Grows only allows 100 strands, so you can't really see what a thatch of hair would look like, although you can test other features fairly well. So I'm wondering if anyone is using GC with Carrara and would mind sharing some thoughts about it. Thanks, Mick
