Hi..
My small studio need some advice about software investment to produce some multimedia content like , flash game , E-card , wallpaper & music

Most of us had no experience in 3d area but we  clearly see that 3d would speedy our works . Off course if we can tackle learning curve and budget investment .

Sorry if we ask this to the poser forum but we think we can get another perspective than software `s owner forum .

Actually weve already ask this question to several people and forum , but the answer always point us to big budget 3d software . We sure the answers from experience peoples weve ask are correct but  buying those software + licence ( we`ll plant to build 5-8 machines ) is out of range for this time . Besides we should to do several intensive course to use those software

One of us had and using 3ds max 5 + poser PP ( old school but rock ) but those softs single licence only so we can`t install in other machines . He advise us to  learn about free DAZ Studio + starter contents which we think quite enough for our learning process and final purpose . Thanks DAZ

Here questions regarding to our studio
1 . Object Licence .
EULA  stated that we only had right use them for rendering , visual purpose , animation as long object cannot be extracted . but we had no clue about use object in several machines ( in our studio ) .  Sorry english not our main languange and sometimes we had very hard to translating especially with long words like EULA .

1. Vue
   We see a lot people render with Vue and weve also tried too  , but we need advice about simplify our streamline productions since for this moment well be using DAZ Studio than Poser . We know poser offer more tools but like we said before , most of us had no experience in 3d and think DAZ Studio is quite enough for this time

2. About Carrara Express & Pro
   Just download Carrara 6 Demo and glad this software seems cut rendertime beside its offer like vue did . So we can stick with this option  . We see buy 2-3 Carrara express copies would fit our budget , but we like to know  about difference with Pro package

Thanks for read and help

thanks , i`ll check it

Carrara 3D express is an excellent program for the price.  Learning it is really pretty easy.  I personally would really recommend that program to anyone on a budget.  Rendering is MUCH MUCH more time efficient than in poser - I can't speak for Daz Studio but I personally wasn't a big fan of that program.
