I started with Poser3 (but have Poser2), Carrara Studio 2, and C4D 6. Unfortunately I couldn't afford the upgrades with C4D. At the time, the render engine in Carrara was as good as C4D, but modeling  was much easier in C4D. Now I use Hexagon and Carrara for modeling. The attached image is from my first modeling project with C4D (and a little Carrara). It's much better than my early Poser stuff!!
