Attached Link: SNEAK PEEK - Carrara 6 New Features

>> If you can wait until the fall and see what C6 has in store (vs C6Pro -- we assume there will be a C6Pro), you could put a little of that money towards some useful plugins. ShaderOps and Veloute are just essential for complex procedural shaders.... AnythingGoos is probably essential for realism. Again, C6 or C6Pro might absorb some of the current plugins' capabilities....

You don't have to wait till fall ... DAZ has been previewing the new C6 Features and ... well ... you have to look at them to see why it's pretty exciting! And with the current "get C5 Now and Get C6 Free" it is kind of a no-brainer to upgrade to Pro if you want some growing room.
