I have yet to jump on the c2 bandwagon, but I have to say that the GI engine looks amazing. I have moved most of my work into a program called Mirai but I have found that Carrara does lots of things quickly that no other package does. One of my big questions is about textures. If this has been solved then I will buy C2. If I go into the VM and name some polygons and then I go into the texture room, will I be able to select those poly's by their name and texture them seperatly from the rest of the model? Everything I try in C1 fails to work this way. If they could at least fix this then it would be worth the upgrade for me. -brent
