Quote - I didn't say I don't like Carrara, In fact I like Carrara a lot. I think Eovia did a brilliant job at designing RDS/Carrara.

Agree.

Quote - What I don't like, and I have repeated it many times elsewhere, is that Daz3D acquired Carrara about 6 years ago and since then it has not been able to add any significant value to it.

Disaree. They may not have added any big new features; that aren't content related. But over the years DAZ has done some good things with carrara; not all of which is nagated by bad things. As in for every light icon tweak we get a moved to a less convenient spot feature control.

Look at it this way, if DAZ hadden't bought it it would have been another lost to the anilas of time app.

Quote - Carrara is a lot bigger than Daz can handle. Daz3D is obviously a joke for a software company. They have way overestimated their abilities by taking on a moderately complex 3D app like Carrara.

But DAZ didn't used to be, Poser may have set the standard but DAZ took it and ran with it. Then DAZ got bought out and has went down hill fast since.

Quote - When that inept software company hires as its mouthpiece an inexperienced noob who gets blown-away by just about anything he sees, then I have serious regrets about the time I spent learning Carrara.

He's nether a noob or been hired by DAZ; other then being a carrara PA. And you have contributed what to the carrara communiyt?

Quote - What's wrong with calling him an inexperienced noob anyway? You want me to call him a second Leonardo? Or a second Toulouse Lautrec? He IS a noob and everything he says or does smells immaturity. With him as cheerleader, Carrara loses the little credibility or respectability it used to have.

No he is just another; although possably a bit more ambitious and excited, carrara user.

So this "noob" creates carrara content, and with your vast experiance you have done what? I'll agree he gets a bit over the top sometimes, but there is no reason to run him down for that.

I have been at this a long time; 16+ years. I can do every thing from make HRDIs to full blown Howiesc sceens. But I have no confedence in my work. He is making carrara content, and even though it's nothing I would buy; I can do the same things, at least he has enough confidence in his work to put it out there. Also remember he was a cheerleader from the get go, long before he became a DAZ PA.
