Quote - i have both and wouldn't be without either. i like carrara's rendering better, and i like the toon render plugin i bought from www.digitalcarversguild for carrara so lately i've been using carrara a lot, i wouldn't be without my vue though. i never render in poser. love esther

Don't they have great plug-ins?  I really think they help round out Carrara's virsitlity.  I bought the Power Pack when I got Carrara 4 and then picked up Noir, Toon Pro!, Parchment and Wireframe Pro.  I figured I would get around to the rest as I got to a point where I could use them.  I've seen an image done with what appears to be a new Terrain plug-in.  That I can't wait to see.  I understand they just released a new shader plug-in.
