i have nearly all plugins from DCG,okay,i dont use them all but im satisfied with every plugin i bought.the plugins are all very very helpfull and they are self explanatory and very easy to understand,i would never talk bad about something that i cant understand,one rule for me is that i have to understand what i dont like or like before i say it is useless or not.you can read everything you need to know about the plugins on erics site,the informations about the plugins are very clear.Eric makes very good plugins and i cant live without them. i have and use zbrush(1.55b and of course 2) too,after making heads and other models with zbrush for 10 month i decided to model my models the traditional way with amapi pro and carrara 3,i can say that i can model a face in amapi in 15-18 minutes and a very detailed head in 3-5 hours.for a good looking head in zbrush i need the same time.zbrush is for me now only a texture weapon and sometimes a additional modeler.zbrush makes fun but i prefer the traditional way.carrara,zbrush and amapi works very good together for me,i have no problems. BTW carrara is not zbrush and zbrush is not carrara.they are very diffrent and that is good!
