Even though I've got Carrara 5 also (mainly for modeling) and it can do great outdoor scenes, I still prefer Poser 6 for doing so. I've found that a lot of the images created with Carrara and Vue look very similair, while with Poser 6, they tend to have a completely different look.

Additions as Terraformers and Microcosm 2, turn Poser into somewhat of a landscape creation application also. Now if E-Frontier could only add some kind of Modeling Room, I would be set.

I've attached a image from my latest project, the creation, it's all done with Poser 6.

Artwork and 3DToons items, create the perfect place for you toon and other figures!
