I use Carrara, in part because at one point, Adobe was suggesting/selling it. In fact, I purchased it online here at the Adobe store (even though it's an Eovia product!). It works pretty well for me, since it exports to Viewpoint. RADICALLY different visual interface from Atmosphere's. If you have an OS X Macintosh, Viewpoint export is not included with Carrara (not too relevant here, I guess).

This was over a year ago, and since then, Adobe has dropped any mention of the product. In reading the posts at this forum, It looks to me like there are other good quality but less expensive products that will interface well with Atmosphere, when used in conjunction with Viewpoint, or a Viewpoint plug-in. There are others in this forum who are vastly more knowledgeable than me about the other programs, as well as most other aspects of Atmosphere.

I've always wondered if there is any correlation with Adobe's temporary "endorsement" of Eovia's Carra, and the fact that Eovia now has a new CEO. The CEO is Philippe Richard, who has a 14 year history in various management positions at Adobe in Europe, prior to taking over at Eovia. I've always wondered if there was a connection of some sort there.
