Speaking of which, how does Carrara do on cloth and hair? Hopefully faster/better than P6/7 dynamic cloth/hair?

The biggest reason I haven't bothered much (let's say "rarely") w/ dynamic cloth in Poser is the time involved in lashing it together. Since I don't do animations outside of just fun and games on my own dime, I can improvise and postwork.

Same story with hair... it's easier on the CPU to just use conforming bits.

Fact is, I haven't bought Carrara since 1.1, and was seriously considering upgrading to v.6  If it allows for most of what I think it does, I may well just get it when it arrives.
