As a Lightwave owner I know you will have serious "why did I do that"--very soon.

Secondly, the tutorials availabe for Carrara are HUGE and go back years--you obviously have not seriously looked.

I also have Softimage--a far better choice than LW! (You should have got Modo maybe---- designed by the ex LW team who wanted a modern app!)
