Thanks ren_mem. Are there any solutions out there for hair, fur and cloth? I know Poser can do these things on a small level. I am wondering about Carrara inbuilt solutions via plugins? A lot of my comparisons for Carrara are coming from C4D and Maya. C4D seems to be equally easy to use - but I just cannot afford the XL bundle at the moment. C4D also seems a lot more powerful than Carrara, but again the price probably reflects that. I use C4D in work and love it's workflow. Carrara seems to have some shortcomings in comparison, but it's price is really tempting me to use at home.
