I'm new to using Carrara, even though I've had the program for a few years. I got it when I realized blender 3d had a hard time modeling or rendering if you had a significant number of models to work with. The newer version of blender (2.37) left the last one (2.36) in the dust, but its still starting to have problems, especially with one of my lastest works. http://www.deviantart.com/view/26113444/ As anyone can see, I've learned how to manipulate blender well, so I understand the basics of modeling easy. However, I'm having a real hard time learning how to operate Carrara's VERY different interface. Are there any good Carrara tutorials out there? (Number four would be best, as that is the version I have) oh and, any good deals on carrara 5? I've tried the book... may need to try again... my main objection is, its 578 pages, and reading out of the middile when you get stuck on something, doesn't help, since it seems meant to be read from the begining. Also, I learned there were several missprints in it from this forum. I know there are a few here, and I'll be trying those shortly.
