It seems that one of the great advantages of Carrara is that it gives a great many options at a reasonable price. Some people are inclined to criticize it in comparison to a software such as 3D studio Max or Lightwave, but for a package that costs less than $500 dollars retail, it is really quite versatile. I do hope that Adobe does not lose sight of this, though I have faith insofar as I have been pleased with most of their products.
