Well then I guess you don't need to worry about carrara, carrara supporters, or carrara cheerleaders.
When I had the chance to get a full line CG app it came down to Carrara and C4D. I went for carrara because it had a terrain and a plant generater and I was working with Terragen at the time.
But regardless of what DAZ does with carrara I simply can not afford to replace it and doubt I will find anything that actually can; for less then $1K.
Seriously how much did you spend on all that dr bernie?
None the less genesis is the next generation of figures. And it was about time, people have been using weightmapped figures in CG aps for quite a few years before DAZ released their premade one. And I know I sound like a broken record but till some one gets up and fixes it, that record is going to skip.
Where DAZ screwed up was releasing genesis/autofit too soon in order to get it out there before some contest, then never did another thing with ether. Over 2 years and genesis has never had an update to fix the issues and nether has autofit. At this point I have no belief DAZ is capable of fixing anything. They release it and we are stuck with some buggy piece of schlock DAZ wants to over charge us for. Then try to get cheerleaders to convince us it the best thing since sliced bread. And just to be sure they have the forum mods pull every post that says other wise in order to fool people in to buying in to the schlock.
Yes, I want to pay $550 for a CG app just to find out the "free content" that comes with it, doesn't work well enough in it to use in it. And to top that off I am overly encouraged to use buggy software to download/install it. And install some DRM to actual use it; the "free content".
Still after all this time what is the number one most often reported issue? "I can't find my content". Which is actually ludicress considering all the far more importent issues with C8.5 then some buggy download/install app that inevatably installs content to the wrong place. Of coarse it is hard to see your content doesn't work as advertised when you can't find it.
