If you had asked what Poser has that Carrara does not, the correct answer would be a curve parameter.

Oooooh! I don't know the answer to this, but is this maybe the beginnings of a Dr. Geep Carrara course?
It was only maybe a little over two years ago when I first opened Poser, clicked around a bit and sadly closed the program. I wanted to make things with it, but didn't have a clue what the buttons were for or what to do with it after saving for months to buy it. Then along came Dr. Geep and the Naysay guy and all the others and the secrets were revealed!
I sit here now with Carrara 6 Standard, the import plug-in and---I open it up, click around and close it back up again because even though I know this program does awesome things I have no idea where to begin. Is it even thinkable that Dr. Geep once again will come to the rescue? Is there hope??? I know, I know...there's the PDF manual thing in the program but when you don't know the first thing about it or where to begin it is not much help.

operaguy posted Wed, 31 October 2007 at 10:03 PM
The working box in Carrara is excellent. Besides the ground you get two sides of the rest of a cube, in grid form. When you place objects in the box you see a "fake shadow" of the item against the back and side wall, much as you see a fake ground shadow in Poser. This is a helper in keeping things oriented and located. You can tell the scale and height of things.
You can easily change the size of the walls, like you can scale up or down the ground in Poser
I find that when you start flying around with the camera, having the working box walls as well as a ground really helps you stay oriented.
