@ Artformz2: You must really come to grip with the fact that Carrara is dead, as dead as the dinosaurs, as dead as John Lennon, as dead as JFK.

I understand that you are a Mac user. Then why don't you give Cheeta3D a try? Feature for feature it stands head and shoulder above Carrara, and it only costs $99.-

Since you mentioned C4D, I can tell you that Cheetah3D (or C3D) is the closest you will get to C4D, at a fraction of the cost.
