3d software and their companies are unique...not sure what to make of
some things myself. I agree very important. See the other post about
volumetric lighting issue too.

Since most know how much post-production goes on, which can then be
automated w/ scripts.Making things realistically possible. :D However,
I don't think carrara will do it. There could be a plugin that might
help...Baker might do it(inagoni.com). It also doesn't do radiosity.
By the way www.purplus.com sells carrara 3 at a good price...might
save you money...if you want to upgrade, that you will probably use on
plugins :D
