Hi Mike. Not really much of a decision. I have already seen enough, and the cost is such that if it doesnt work out, I wont be out a lot of money. I still plan to use Lightwave for projects. But once I get Carrara I plan to try some projects in it too. Once I get comfortable enough to rely on it solely, I will do so. For now I have some dedicated clients that I have to be sure and fulfil projects for. Once Carrara demonstrates it can (through my manipulation) achieve what I need, Lightwave might get shelfed. Even effects like exploding objects are easy with Carrara. Again, I guess I am very enthusiastic, but after working with Lightwave for so long and having to find workarounds for problems like this, it is a breath of fresh air to see Carrara do it effortlessly.
