robertzavala... I use carrara in TV all the time. When I first started working here they had lightwave and a $5k mac. know one in the company knew how to use it. I worked on lightwave for about 4 hours and said this is the stupid program I have ever used. I looked around at all the different types of 3d programs and figured Carrara was the easiest. I think I am right....when I work with other graphic artist from other post houses they all laugh at it, but just ask them to type in your name and spin it. We just have to go to the text modeler type it in and drag a texture on it. A light wave user has to type it in...extrude it...make the polys double sided so you can see the back..go thru a big menu system to add a texture...FORGET IT!!! I submitted a 3d animation to eovia for DVworld that they wanted to run, unfortunatly it jumbled up with lawyers on my end so it never made it there...but I was surprised how many people where using carrara in a professional aspect. I think someone on the yahoo list is using it @ espn...and someone else @ nickelodian is using for games.....
