This might be a biased community, but if it is biased for good reason that is still useful to know... :) I have version 1.0, the one that came out only a few weeks before Metacreations went under. I now have an option to get 5.0, and am wondering if it is a good choice, or if there is some other tool in the same price range that would be better. I have a lot of experience making 3D art, but next to none with making fully original models. I would like a program that is easy to work with, and well suited to such tasks as modelling new clothing and props for Poser figures, or buildings and scenary I could then use in Vue D'Esprit. Carrara 1.0 looked realtively not too complex, although I was using it with no training, and it went under so fast no user community could develop to help me learn. As a result I tabled for the last several years the idea of learning to model... Is Carrara 5.0 likely to be better off in these regards?

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
