I can afford any high end softwares. But I am just not up to learn their complex interferes. Poser was a best software than LifeForm. I just like all the stuff in it except the render and light coordination. Somehow it led me to Carrara and I still like it. Same reason when people like Mac. I will get Mac or SGI when I am retired. I exprimented 3D Studio Max and Lightwave. I looked at time spend with these 3D applications it was not worth it. It need alot of people to make a scene. One thing I hate most about 3D Studio Max is that it only sell core 3D application and sell plug ins individually. I can finish more tasks in Carrara than any of these 3D applications alone.
