Hi Spinners, Carrara (especially C5Pro) is a very good modeler. Hexagon is an outstanding modeler. With Hex 2, it is very, very easy to create organic models and do displacement detailing. For non-organic models, the edge tools, joining tools and other modeling tools really make modeling a ton easier. While you may not make complex models at this point in time, Hex makes it very easy to do so. It's easy to learn and has a great .pdf manual with animations showing everything in action. For me professionally, on some assignements I would purchase models because of deadlines. Now with Hexagon, modeling them is very quick, and I get to pocket some extra income in the process. If you ever wanted to create models for sale, Hexagon would be a nice addition to your software. Just my biased opinion... ;) Mark
