Well I have access to both lightwave (@work) and Max (@ an artists buddies house) and I hate both of them. The only I like about them is how they treat animation. Lets Face it..The modeler in lightwave Sucks!!! It is totally sucky and the user interface sucks. My boss bought a 10 tape series on training to use it and while I can now get around in it, I just dont care for it. There are other nicer 3d programs that I have had demo'd that I'd like but they are much more exspensive than either lightwave or max. The problem with light wave is the same problem after effects 3.1 had before it went to 4.0. Some idiotic engineer designed the interface. Things dont always work so intuitivly as they should. If you have to choose between lightwave and max tho look at your output preferences. For interactivity(ie games/vrml) max is much friendlier..there are plug-ins for tons of formats. Lightwave on the other hand has great output for video and film. The reason I choose Carrara was b/c of Carrara's integration with video products. It is comparable to lightwave in this regard, but is not quite so flexible. I feel tho that carrara will be able to compete with Lightwave once adobe (or whoever) can get a nice bones system hooked up. Of course by then I probably wont be able to afford it as Im sure that adobe will have Carrara's price equal to or greater than lightwaves by the end of the year :)

you may also want to check out a program called nendo to model in. I have found that I am really getting to like modifing models in carrara but I am not up to the task of making them from scratch in carrara. You will be able to make a lot of stuff very quickly in nendo but at lower quality. Then once you have a base you can import the models in to carrara and texture them & modify them. Carrara is sort of a pain in the butt but compared to max and lightwave its a breeze. Just a day or so ago (see my post below) I was totally frustrated like you...now I can swing the camera around and texture my models...later tonight Ill figure out the earth modeler :) Not bad for just a couple of days!

Thread: So Adobe buys Carrara!! | Forum: Carrara
As a video editor I work with tons of adobe products. I just bought carrara so Im not as familiar with it as all of you but I was really happy with the fact it was targeted at "more of an average user" than lightwave/max. I have a bad feeling that Carrara will end up being a 3d program for video editors with no 3d experiance. This alone will triple its price....then I figure more post production 3d artist will see it and complain about its interface untill they brow beat adobe and carrara starts looking like, acting like, and costing like all other 3d programs out there. I mean look at adobe's product line...they dont have one consumer oriented program...I doubt they will make this there first one!. Of course there is always hope... -Rock
Thread: Adobe to acquire Canoma | Forum: Carrara
My fav part of all this is I just bought Carrara (on sunday..its not even here yet) and I find out the company is going in the crapper...oh well as long as a new company picks it up I guess. Would suck if I just blew a wad of cash on a defunct product. Just my 2cents worth but it would be great if Adobe picked up Carrara. Adobe has its problems but it has great product intergration...It would be awesome to have photoshop and after effects intergrated in with carrara.
