Sits down, popcorn in hand, to watch to upcoming show... 11.11.11...

About the question: I'd rather die.

About Blender: yesterday, Cycles was merged into trunk. This means that if you go to Blender.org and download the latest build, you have much more than you will have if (...if? nah, no if, it would be libelous rumor spreading, wouldn't it? when!) Carrara will have its LuxRender bridge. As far as tutorials are concerned, there are tons of tutorials out there. And if somebody does not like Blender... who cares? we blenderheads will survive.

Bye...

P.S.: tic toc tic toc tic toc... 11.11.11... tic toc tic toc tic toc...
