What our customer's say!

"An Amazing Program", First of all: Carrara is not an application for those seeking the highest of high results (wind simulation, etc.), as can be found in programs like Maya and Lightwave. However, for those of us who may or may not be in a professional studio, but simply want an understandable and extremely powerful rendering program (as well as a much cheaper one), Carrara definitely fits the bill.
The layout in this program is very pleasing, and retains the friendly feeling familiar to those of us who use the excellent but lower-level program, DAZ Studio. Carrara sports easy-to-learn modeling tools, and is almost fully compatible with Poser scenes and objects/files. (DAZ scene compatibility will be available by version 6.)
The best thing about Carrara, however, is probably its fast and very easy to use rendering engine. It supports HDRI lighting and much more, but maintains a very simplistic screen for its rendering controls. (The first thing you will probably notice is that the list of rendering options is only 1 panel long.)
I cannot recommend Carrara enough to people interested in getting photorealistic (or not) results with the simplest and easiest to use of interfaces. As you can see by looking at the images on the company's official website (www.daz3d.com), it delivers amazing results, but the interface and tools are exponentially easier to use than those of any other 3D application in its class.
Plus its really light on system resources.

"using it daily", I'm an exhibit designer so please keep in mind what I use this program for. I don't use the landscapes except for my personal projects. I don't do allot of maping or exterior lighting. I love the hot keys and found them easier to use than 4 and love the moving windows and the lighting is spectacular. It's much faster to get to files and objects. Much more work space and tutorials are great. The only down side is after about a year of using it every day, it seems to be acting a little funny, like a car that needs it's oil changed or something. Only a handful of times I've had the program shut down in the middle of a project.
I only wish that the the units were much easier converted to inches(down to the 1/4") The larger the sceen the longer it takes to render and saving people takes forever.
Ove all... lots of fun and have taught teenagers to use it in an hour.
Best,
MIke
