CG Effects in DV 2004-02-02 - By TEXIL
Back
Yeah, they have to run now.
It's time to add & change many many things on the next version.
I've don't updated to V.3 & actually use V.2 & another (very known) software
offered 2 monthes ago on some magazines fr. USD.100,00 !!! Full old-version
which can do many many things Carrara V.2 & V.3 can't do.
Yes, it's a little "trauma" to move to another 3D softw., but when you need
nurbs, hypernurbs, real particles, real text editor & many other things,
what do you wanna do ? !!
Frankly I love (I've loved) Carrara. Yes I still love it, but I really think
that if the next version doesn't answer to the waiting of customers, to put
Carrara at the level of the others 3D softwares (maybe at the level of past
versions of 1 or 2 years ago will be OK) (Yes I'm speaking about Lightwave,
3DMax, Cinema 4D to be clear), there is a risk for Carrara to remain
eternally a cheap (not so cheap fr what it does !) application fr. debs in
3D.
So, come on Eovia ! Squeeze your brains ! Give us the software we need !
Give us a Pro-version, with a higer price if you need it, but full with all
that stuff we need.
We trust in you & we're waiting (not too much !)
