Cool, a nearly Lightwave-level rendering engine for $250. I don't suppose the next-to-useless interface has anything to do with it...

Still, I think it's pretty cool.

Carrara...didn't that used to be Ray Dream Studio?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Was that program good? I once acquired an older version of that but could not do anything with it... :p (then again, I can't do much with 3DS max either, but at least I can make spheres there :D)

Yeah, Carrara is the bastardized modern-day descendant of Ray Dream, crossed with something I've never heard of and given a really strange interface. Absolutely for **** as far as modeling goes, in my opinion (I've met others who disagree, but they're wrong), but it's an excellent renderer and, when paired with an old copy of Ray Dream (good modeler, mediocre renderer), produces an effect like a low-budget LightWave, with an interface more like MAX.

Both have a pretty much vertical learning curve, but after about a year you get the hang of it and it's as good as MAX. Except in booleans, which MAX does really well.
