GWeb- Notice... a 'super-user' uses 6 (count them 6!) programs to get done what he needs/wants to. Never mind the post-proccessing with After Effects/Photoshop/Flash/Name-your-favorite-here. Check out the workflows at ANY of the 'pro' animation/3D houses out there... they ALL use multiple programs, sometimes writing their own, to get the job done. Talk about a 'standard of the industry'! NO software will be all things to all people. If they were, then we would all be clones instead of people. ;) AND... for the record... I 3rd the 'Jeepers Crimminy!' We ALL know how you feel about Carrara... so why don't you just leave us alone about it? Hmmmmm? (This has been a public service announcment.) :D
