RPM can be tweaked in 3dsMax too, Mark, using "normalize time" settings in the Motion tab. No, it's not a simple slider function, but it's nowhere near a 20 min operation.  Anyway, check out Scriptspot.com or Maxplugins.de, and you will see that not everything is wallet-busting upgrades and plugins.  Max has a HUGE comminity of people creating FREE stuff for the application as well.  Perhaps one of the largest free repository communities in the industry.  So funny you should mention cost in a thread where someone has already said they will have to pay nothing for 3dsmax, as a student.  No offense to anyone.  Not looking for a fight, nor am I downplaying Carrara's usefulness.  Just seems funny that someone who can get 3dsmax for free would post in here if they should, and not even bother to post in the 3dsmax forum to get contrary or secondary opinions.  Seems the leverage is in favor of the "home field advantage" if you ask me.

Happy new year.
