I am not unhappy with it so far. But then, I am an old Ray Dream user and I bought Carrara to be my primary modeller. As work-flow example, I recently created some stone wings for a garden angel. They started with a grey-scale conversion, and I boned them in Carrara to create morph targets before assembling the final model in Poser. Everything worked smoothly and as expected. I had a small problem with materials groups on a different model. I ended up opening the .obj file in a text editor and inserting "usemtl" lines by hand. There was probably a simpler way but that worked. The main problem I have so far is the difficulty of putting a poser figure in there while you wrap a mesh around it. I'm finding I'm doing a lot of jumping in and out. The lack of surface detection in the modelling tools is also a problem. Definately, high on my wish list for v.3 is templating in all windows.
