Is it going to be tough doing it in Carrara without Hexagon as a plugin? Consider an extremely limited budget - I am essentially trying to maximize my buyin and get the most I can possibly get within that budget, which is not likely to go over one cent above $250 for some time to come... A complete newbie, but I do know my way around Poser, Vue, and Bryce - bot a model creator but I can do the 'photographer's end' of 3D. Even adding in Clothing Creator might be tough, but if it is very highly recommended I might get it in a month or two after getting Carrara. I'm on a limited student budget right now, as I'm 'back in school' and my savings from the dot-com era have run their full course. Carrara will be coming to me as a gift in January. :) (we tried to order the box, but couldn't even do it as a pre-order, so waiting till january after the other person gets back from a trip overseas). But if the community here had told me 'don't buy this, we're only in here to complain about it' then I would have asked the person giving me that gift to hold off - however the commentary here looks like I should instead be thanking my lucky stars that I'm getting this gift. :) The way I see it, is that maybe one to three months after I get carrara, I will get 'one plugin'. I was planning transposer, but if Hexagon or Cloth Creator would meet my needs better I will go that way. (having only Vue 5 basic and Poser 5, I have learned how to get dynamics into Vue the hard way - save them as an obj and reimport them into Poser, scale the new prop and fit it into the position of the dynamic it was based on, then delete the dynamic, move all content to frame one, and save for Vue import ;) ). If I need to do that in Carrara to keep my dynamics intact... I can if there is something else I should make into a budget priority. I love that dynamic dress by the way. Both of the two images above feature clothes like the ones in my imagination that I have been wanting to make since I got into 3D in 99... So from now till January... it's learn what I can and drool time... :)

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
