"I did my homework. I am still in favor with Poser, Vue, Carrara, and ZBrush. Renderer and Particle is only features I am keeping my eye on." Then you must know that the renderer in XSI Foundation blows the doors off the ones in Carrara, Vue, or Poser (we're talking MentalRay, nuff said there). Zbrush is a different animal altogether really, but I do love that app. I'll be generous and give you a "C+" on your homework this time around, but only because you have Zbrush in your arsenal. ;-)
