PXP,

I'm a firm Carrara supporter, I think it's a great program! Carrara 6 has the POTENTIAL to be a first class 3D suite and it's native use of Poser and D/S content (along with Transposer2) is a great addition ot an already good program. That said tho, Carrara 6 has some serious bugs! I use it mostly for modeling and the Verstex room has some problems that cause me to go back to Carrara 5 in fustration! So don;t think your going to buy a perfect program, or you;ll be on the biards ranting about being "ripped off". I fully expect DAZ to correct this problems in a service release shortly, at which time the price will probably go up on the package. All that said, I'd recommend buying it now to get the discount and bear with the bugs until the srevic release comes out, in the long run I think you'll make out better for it.
