NudeRiver wonders Feb 09, 2010 02:24AM if anyone has much experience in using Carrara by Daz or Esprit by E-On Software or Poser?
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 02:25AM I bought all 3 of them years ago, but never had much time to make too much use of them...
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 02:26AM My idea was always to make a animation movie or beautiful images with them...
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 02:26AM I sort of bought them, played with it a bit -- then got too busy with other things... forgot about it...
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 02:26AM then... a year or so later get email about upgrading to the newer version...
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 02:27AM Just got an offer like that for Esprit in my email bucket... the latest version is 8.0 and the last one I bought was 6.0...
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 02:28AM It's like, if I already invested like $200 in buying the software 2 years ago -- that means I planned to use it... but, I never really did
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 02:29AM but... if I do go to use it... I should pay the extra $99 for the newer version... I don't know if I'll have the time though
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 02:30AM given I have so little time for hobbies like this, I need to choose which software is best to use my time on
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 02:54AM the whole idea, there are two ways to make beautiful images -- go out and try to find them outside... and maybe hire models
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 02:57AM film makers these days have the same decision to make ... to achieve a particular look, cost/time trade-offs, reality or computer effects
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 02:58AM Or like with photography... how much post-processing to do? Is the original un-retouched photo better than the photoshopped one?
NudeRiver Feb 09, 2010 03:00AM Of course... reality and natural are better in the end... a real sunset, a real waterfall, so much better than one inside a computer
