Hi, I'm not even qualified enough to be classed as a newbie yet, but I was wondering if some kind person would explain the differences between Carrara and Amapi. Specifically, would it be fair to say that Amapi is mainly for modelling, but also does some rendering/animation, but that Carrara is mainly for rendering/animation but also does some modelling? Or are Carrara's modelling abilities the equal of Amapi, making Amapi a sort of cut-down version of Carrara? In short, would it be useful to have both, or does Carrara sort of make Amapi unnecessary? Personally, my main interest is in modelling - creating items that I would render/animate in other programs like Poser. I'd assumed that Amapi would be more useful, but I've heard that Carrara has some nice modelling tools that aren't in Amapi. Any advice much appreciated! And enjoy the holidays! Morph
