I just saw the info on version 5 of Carrara.. looks very promising... from what i was able to gather from the website.. i should be able to open up cr2 figures directly and pose them.. just a few questions on that for those that have the beta version... 1) how easy is it to pose figures? 2) can i apply poser poses within carrara.. 3) if i load a figure then pose her/him... if i load clothing will it conform?? 4) can i apply mat files directly in carrara 5 to figures that have been loaded... 5) if i apply mat files... how accurate and easy is it??? do i have to search for textures?? do i have to tweak transparencies,etc... before i render... 6).. how about HDRI.... does Carrara 5 use them?? Thanks in advance.. i know i'm asking alot of questions... but it would sure help me knowing these answers before purchasing.. Nick
