Quote - Thank you JonnyB. I agree. Marks video tutorials that I have viewed are top notch. I will be spending more time with them.
I have decided to work on Carrara. I have Carrara standard not Pro. I have Poser 7 and ZBrush 3.5 and Hex 2.5. I don't think I need anymore programs. If I cant get it done with these there is no hope for me. LOL What with work and all I just haven't had enough time. Y'all know what I mean.

 - I think you've made some really good choices.

• Daz had a big sale in May "Economic Stimulus Bundle": Carrara 6 Pro, Hexagon 2.5,  Bryce 6, Mimic Light, and Mimic Pro, for just $199. So I jumped on it. Sometimes Daz has some great deals.
• Hexagon is an excellent modeling tool. I really like it and I think you will too. It's especially handy with the new Daz Studio Bridge, just load a character into DAZ, send to Hexagon, apply some morphs, send it back to Daz with morphs including dials...it's a snap. It's easy to use and really stable. It even supports subdivision now.
• I don't have ZBrush, wish I did, because I've have seen what it can do...very impressive. High level professional modeling tool.
  Good luck Jim.
