Um... no it isn't "low cost", unless you consider $200 to $500 "low cost".

Um, compared to 1000 to 3500 (or even 8 or 9000 for Houdini) for other 'professional' apps then, yes I consider Carrara low cost. Not as low as Blender as you point out, but then Blender does have that learning curve going against it. Also, I've never paid full whack for Carrara because if you hang around DAZ long enough, you know to wait for a sale.

 

Exactly my point.

I wouldn't even consider paying nearly 10 grand for a piece of software. And for what? All of them can do the same job as the next, you're paying for how popular their name is.

That's it.

A name.

So why does DAZ think C is worth as much as they think they do considering C can't do any of what is considered 'standard' in ALL other packages and the 3D community.

But they've got breast enlargment deformers galore.
