Well, here's a twist on the question - do I really need Carrara Pro as opposed to Carrara 5 standard? The pro features mostly seem to be truly pro, like render farming, that I'll never need. OK, so you get Transposer bundled, but C5 + Transposer is cheaper than C5 Pro. Also, I tend not to use dynamic hair/clothing anyway. So what are the killer features for Pro? Incidentally, another question: how much of a Poser 6 material does C5 translate? I'm tired of the way that Vue mangles Poser's reflectivity and specularity settings and ignores some parts of Poser 6 materials altogether.
