As a Poser-compatible, low end modeling and animation program, Carrara is certain to have more tools and options than even a "Pro" version of Poser, which will serve as an add-on to the truly professional programs. Depending on the price, Carrara may or may not be the best deal for a hobbyist, though my half-hearted quest to find a good Carrara render in the galleries is still underway. Not that the best programs in the world can’t be made to churn out substandard stuff. Does Carrara support “multi-track” animation with each moved object or body part key framed on its own timeline? I’m just curious. It would be great if it did.
