At the special prices--which have been extended I see--C7 is (just) ok as an update for my needs.
The 3D paint leaves me cold(frozen stiff!)--but I have been spoilt because I have 3D Coat.
(A bit like Blender!--IF you can come to terms with it it may be ok!)

C7 seems to work a bit faster. I am thinking the damn fixing of the glitches where you are stopped in mid breath--are NOT still fixed properly.

As I have said on another post, I have LW, XSI and etc----as a comprehensive, user friendly. 3D App, Carrara still stands out as brilliant.

PS--Having 3D Coat I, still, never have to do UVs!!!!! (It's all automatic and far above a level I would even think of doing!)
