Hi there , Well I have been gettin' my feet wet around here & everyone has been most helpful. I have a question about Carrara...You see , I have been productive in bryce for a few years now. I went ahead & bought bryce 5.5 & a used copy of Poser 5 for Vue 5 esprit (which I got as a gift this past Christmas ). I have access to Vue 4 Pro at school. Now , my Dad knows that I am very interested in digital Art so He bought me a copy of Carrara Studio 3. Now guys & Gals , maybe its just me...mabe I'm spoiled to the ease of use of the other programs I use 'cause Carrara seams a little non-user friendly & somewhat confusing. Funny thing is , the interface looks a lot like that of Bryce! I know there is a video tutorial on the CD, but for some reason my CD-Rom drive has trouble accessing it ( but we are not gonna get into that here ). So I took the long road to ask you people who are seasoned users of Carrara this - With having all those other programs , is Carrara worth my time and effort in creating 3D art? I don't whant to hurt my Dad's fealing by not using this program but....I just don't know.... thank you , mikeywilliam
