You guys are head-and-shoulders above me, seeing as I'm new to Carrara [coming from Strata]. But I have my own wish list. [1] The texture window is terrible. There should be a way to stretch/extend a map on any axis. In Strata you got a window with a geometric representation of the object which you could rotate. The texture was applied from that angle. You could spec. an expansion/contraction of the coverage area by plugging numbers into the respective boxes. [2] I wish when I was in a Top View [make that Any View] and I want to check the placement from another axis, I could come back to the same camera placement in Top...instead of having to drag the model back into the camera field. Do you think anyone is listening ar Carrara? I find much to like here. And lacking much that is common in other modelers. Some of the things that you guys have complained about [which I know i'll need sometime soon] make me tremble.
