Humm,
I've held off getting back into this thread but I think I see the problem now. It's not a comparrison between Carrara and Lightwave but rather a comparrison of Pre-Made content. I suppose since Lightwave is and older and MUCH broader used program than Carrara it's only natural the ther is more content out there that can be purchased and dorpped inot the program to give good results. That;s not the same as comparing Carrara to Lightwave. I'm sure that in the right hands Carrara can be made to create realistic renders, in fact I've sen some that are pretty awesome, but that;s not to say there are a lot of perfected pre-made content out there. Carrara's still "youn ge" in that respect but seems to be "growing: lately. Remember the Programs are just tools, and it;s the craftsman that makes the tools work...Remember even the DAZ content for Carrara is a realitively new field and will no doubt improve as time goes on. I'm sure that you'll eventually see content of the same caliber for Carrara, as soon as it skilled craftsmen see the user base is large enough to make it profitable to do the work. In the meantime Carrara, like Lightwave in it;s earlier years, is dependant on it's users to build much of their own content...
If I uspet you the OP by calling you rude I'm sorry, but I still don;t see the need to post to a a Carrara forum in a manner that is basically saying "this program isn;t good enough and as soon as you all reach my level you;ll want to move to (fill in the program name) and be able to turn out really good work". If you were just pointing to a site with good content for another program, and saying "I wish there was something of this quality out there I could buy for Carrara" or "How could I get these results in Carrara" that would be one thing, but why even bother to make a post that is basically an attack on the program that the forum is centered on?
