I am getting my feet wet to learn 3d and I have bought all the 3d programs out there (more or less, like an addiction for better or for worse).
I have heard some ins and outs on Carrara, and since it's going on sale upon joining the Platinum Club, is a good for rendering Poser scenes?
I am thinking long and hard of getting Carrara Standard before the sale ends shortly. I am a Poser user hence my gallery, and I have other programs be it Bryce 6, Hexagon, Silo and Vue to name a few.
I think I heard that it has a faster rendering than, I guess Poser. Would it be worth the money to get?
Thanks,
JB

Lots of people use Carrara for rendering poser scenes. Look around in the Carrara gallery and you will see Poser people all around. You could IM people using C5 for that purpose to ask if they like it. I think it would be a good move forward.

Well, for what I have seen so far in this forum, it looks like a great deal.
I have been doing renders in Poser 4 and 6 (I'm still learning to do shaders and getting the hang of it) and have upgraded my Memory in my computer this year. I got both Bryce and Vue and haven't been doing much there. My gallery has been mostly Poser stuff (V3 and such).
I have been hearing that Cararra 5 has a faster rendering engine and easy to import. I also like to learn modelling. Been playing around Hexagon 2, so if I do get C5S, it would be a nice companion piece (I think).
For now, I might get Carrara 5 Standard before they end the PC offer February 4. Was planning upgrading to Vue 6 Esprit, but no word of physical box shipments yet. So, I'll go for the gusto.
Thanks for your response, any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated.

Go for Pro. It really is just too good a bargain to miss.
From one who has been buying updates of Carrara for years and knows the true value of this brilliant app.

I checked out Daz's site and looking at the Full List, it has more to offer.
Hmmm, just the thought of it....
