Subject: DId any of the bugs from C5 get squashed?


nomuse ( ) posted Wed, 05 September 2007 at 5:33 PM · edited Sun, 15 March 2026 at 7:54 AM

Been reading heavily in forums, checking the bug report, etc. I can't tell if any of the bugs reported during C5 were fixed in time for the C6 release. I do like the new features, but fear over shelling out bucks for the upgrade and still staring at the same stupid old bugs (some of them dating back to version 4!) makes me think a lot more strongly about taking the jump to some other software instead. So does anyone know where there might be a list of "fixed since last release?"

Have any particular ones in mind? Many have been fixed.

One that concerned me was the C5 Plant Editor, which crashed everytime I made a few minor adjustments to a default.  I do not have that problem in CP6.

keenart. Never had that particular "bug" you mention in the Tree area.

Carrara5Pro is, with the exception of Photoshop CS, the most bug free app I have ever had.
I can see a few questions about C6 but, most of my experience has ended up being me, "User Bugs" (Expect a 6.1 update, like 5.1, verry soon!)

Programmes like Lightwave--latest version---are WAY WAY more buggy!

DAZ Tech was never able to solve the problem, so I worked around it. Since I have a different system now, there is little chance of finding out if it was system specific.

 

Yep! I am an avid reader of the User Guide and do a lot of tuts, even though I have had the product since version 3, I cannot remember everything.

The program in general is very, very good when it comes to bugs. There were only a few I've encountered, but they were in places where I encountered them far too frequently and they had far too negative an impact on my work flow. Such as, the bad UVmapping on cylinders, or the group names deletion bug. Both of these would turn a five-minute modeling job into a twenty-minute agony. The only thing that would be worse is dealing with the learning curve and the new bad habits of a different piece of software! So I'm not shying from C6 because I fear it might be buggy. I simply have other priorities for my very small budget. I can't justify it for Poser figures with hair. I could justify it if I could make models faster and more efficiently -- and for that, the roadblock is whether any of the identified problems in C5 have yet been addressed.

Hope you can try the demo version of C6 as the Hair leaves any other app I know way behind. A brilliant piece of work. ps Brian did not even need to access the Help manual!!!!!!!

And, how you can use all your Poser stuff instantaniously  within Carrara without having to  actually open any of your Poser versions is also superb.

One C5 bug that remains unfixed is that when you have a light with a light cone or other visible artefacts, and you use that light in a particle generator or a replicator, the visible effects are not replicated, even though the light is.

Dual Monitor support of Mac's is still broken.

According to a close out of a bug report I filed over a week ago on the runtime in the directory path naming...Response to be fixed in next update which is due by the end of the month...which is very "Soon" in daz's normal time frame!

Just had some news.  Bug tracker informed me yesterday that some of the bugs I reported a year ago have just made it to "assigned."  So good news for the next update.  And good reason for me to not bother with Carrara 6 yet.
