I just stopped by to see what was going on with Carrara. I've owned from version 1 till 6, but I rarely used it past version 4. I moved to Cinema 4D several years ago (at a pretty penny)—haven't looked back since. It's a shame that Eovia sold Carrara. I loved that program, but after investing in C4D I decided I had to pick one ap and concentrate on it. C4D is a great full featured suite and far more robust but Carrara has very advanced features for the price (even does a thing or two better) but I don't think Daz does Carrara justice—it's a shame.
