Good example. We buy the right to use a 3D object. What APPLICATION we choose to use it in is OUR business. Period. And any app which restricts that choice?? Is headed into oblivion. Because their customers won't tolerate it. I buy Poser objects because of the huge selection of 3D objects available. From there they go to Lightwave or, now, Carrara 5. LW has trouble with Poser objects (yes, I have the Greenbriar plugins). Carrara doesn't. So, even though I'd RATHER use Lightwave I'm switching to Carrara. It can talk to more apps, without plugins, than any other 3D program I've seen. For what I do, it makes the most sense, and offers me the most choices.
