I mustve tried it so many times, and then totally avoided it altogether. When I started playing around w/ Second Life, I was somewhat forced into it.

I wont lie, it is an extremely powerful and robust program, I am amazed at some of the things done w/ it, but I just can't get around working w/ it's navigation and interface. Of all the programs I have ever used, it's by far the most difficult to manuever through. The "only" thing I can do w/ it now is import a mesh to autorig for use in Second Life, and even that, requires my "full" attention. I have to wear surgical gloves when I use it...

I'll admit, as a Carrara user, I get envious hearing and seeing how many people have good times w/ it =P It is very popular and has an outstanding community. And it's free =/

There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count, and those that can't..
