Quote - I haven't heard anything from Daz re:C6... 5 has been out for about a year?  (is that right?)  and Since daz bought it after that time, I'm not sure when 6 will be released.

 

Well...  actually Carrara 5 was only released in May.... 7 months ago.  So I would guess it will be a little while before Carrara 6 would be released.

I think for the most part, Bryce is there baby, and if C6 comes out it will probably be a minor, maybe 5.4 or something to make C more compatible with Bryce. 

 

This would be a good thing for Bryce users, Bryce and Carrara users as well as for DAZ as a company.

Quote - What is actually pretty interesting is wondering in what directions they mean to take it. -- lots of concentration on things that have to do with render improvements and integration with Poser..... Is this a useful indicator? Does it mean even more integration with Poser, or merely a smoother integration? Being as this is DAZ now, will it import DAZ Studio content as smoothly as it currently does Poser content?  I have some faint hope that they might put more tools into Carrara for the reverse operation; for getting Carrara-built content exported into Poser (or DAZ Studio). These could be very exciting tools to have for a content creator. A modeling engine with built-in cr2-builder would be the only one of its kind out there....even if the market for such a thing might not be that large. 

 

It seems there are lots of possibilities....  We will just have to wait and see what happens. 8)
