Of course you're right about that-Carrara wasn't designed to be a professional 3D app, it was meant more as an enthusiast/light work sort of thing. > experimental scene or something, Carrara is great. > need some of the more advanced functions in MAX.

> reasonably well, but it is not half of what 3DS or Maya is. Text based gui's have no place in my workflow, so for now at least 3D Studio Max is where I stay. Softimage and Lightwave, while impressive, seem to dialogue-box you to death for no apparent reason. Maya is my next logical step in 3D, while Houdini is way above my head. I find that interface is what holds people back in 3d. Sorry if I sound like a nut, but I've also used Softimage, Maya, Houdini, and Lightwave. Now gMax gives me the opportunity to not have to learn a new interface and 3D paradigm. I wanted a free program so students wouldn't have to go borke trying to learn the basics. Recently I have been looking for an alternative such as blender to teach at a local university. I have been a registered 3D Studio User since 1992. I think it will greatly bolster those in the 3d community who want to learn 3D Studio Max. sorry to rain on your parade, but I was at siggraph and got to play with gMax first hand. Your mileage may vary, but telling us about third-hand experience of a troublesome installation doesn't really advance the discussion, does it? My home machine runs RH6.2 in much the same way. all day without complaint (gimp crashes, but it's not exactly a mainstream Windows NT app, and the crashes have dropped since the latest release).

I write this from a Windows 2000 PC that has not blue-screened since installation (Day one of CD going to select customers) and which runs Povray/Blender/gimp/ssh etc. Us nerds may get heated about Microsoft, but at root, both OSes are pretty good, and we could easily use either to get an honest days work done.

There is no difference to the end user between Linux and Windows NT/2000. "Blender runs brilliantly in Windows NT/2000" "Windows NT/2000 is right for some tasks" Here's a refrain I'd like to here more people saying: If you define using it right as putting it all back in the cardboard box, then using it as a paperweight, then maybe
