I am considering now about purchasing a 3D program for modelling objects and proper texturing, too. I've been heard good and seen bad things about Carrara... but I couldn't find any way to learn online how to use it! For me it's crucial cause I can't learn in real life, I mean, where, damn? Please answer me. And make me think Carrara is worthy. Right now, accordingly to the things I've seen, Cinema4D is way better... but I might change my mind :)
