Hear hear. And that's what I fight to keep about Carrara. Carrara is a unique application; uniquely powerful for it's price point and ease of use. Part of the nature and price of this uniqueness is a sometimes unusual way of doing things; the Kai Krause interface, the spline modeller. What I'd like to see is for Carrara to continue to capitalize on its strengths (the price, the professional output that is possible, the ease of learning it for the first time and the ease of using it in general that makes even Max and LW users reach for it when they just want to run off some Christmas ornaments or a toy train), while growing ever more functionality that will be available to the experienced user. Poser5 made a terrible mistake. They took an application used mostly by amatuers and added far too many functions -- many of which had startlingly different interfaces and many of which shipped in an inexcusably shoddy beta. They turned off their real market (first-time 3D users who wanted to try their hand at NViTWS), but they never had a real chance of interesting the professional 3D people. I do not want to see Carrara turn unfriendly (through either a completely new interface or addition of too many new functions) and similarly lose its position in the market for the learners and hobbiests.
