Yeah, it was good for them to get more people interested, but I actually felt chumped out.

So, they lost me as a customer.... and I was a good customer.

There was probably a number of us that felt like that. The Upgrade was a little high since I've already invested a large amount of $ for Carrara.

I just didn't want to get suckered into buying the upgrade, only to see it go for free a few months later (not how it happened but I saw it happen twice before) so what was the point in me forking out the cash if it was likely to become free? This whas my thinking. I still wont buy it because I'm believing that as soon as I buy it, it WILL end up free.

Jarrod was cool tho, we are still friends... but the end result is I was put-off on ever purchasing Carrara again.

I instead invested my $$$ in Zbrush, at least I get free upgrades. These 3D companies are really gouging their customers at times.

I'm fine with Carrara 7pro, sounds like it wasn't really worth the upgrade since I work a lot in Poser and import everything into Carrara.

Tho, lately I've replace Carrara with Messiah Studio for anything I needed animated.
