Thank y’all for the info! In my case, raw computing power or RAM is not an issue. My home system is a beast that I built specifically to run like lightning, even with extremely memory intense or processing intense tasks, but there may be a lot of folks browsing the forums who aren’t running high end systems debating what software to use.
As for me, right now, I’m leaning toward either Vectric or Carveco for a lot of my work. Most of the stuff I’m looking into doing - at least in the short term - can be done with either one. I’ve had a hard time finding direct comparisons of Carveco and Vectric software, though. There is a lot of overlap, but I’d like to know some of the things that Carveco can do fairly easily that Vectric can’t and vice versa.
Another thing that would be nice to see would be a few video clips showing the workflow of different software doing the same project - preferably by someone who has worked a fair bit with both. A direct comparison would be most helpful. Looking over tutorials, it would appear that Vectric is a bit easier to use, but that may very well come down to a difference in how different people making the tutorials like to do things rather than one piece of software actually being easier to learn and use than the other.
Thoughts?
