Yup, opinions are like asses, everyone has one and they are usually full of .....

Seriously, you've only seen DAZ from the Studio prespective. Being a carraraest at DAZ is a real eye opener ;)

Try this. The new big feature in C5 was DAZ mil3 figure compatability and transposer, so you could move your scenes; including dynaimc clothing scenes/animstions, to carrara from Poser. DAZ borked that in C6. The new big feature in C6 was dynaimc hair, DAZ borked that in C7. Can't remeber what the new big thing in C7 was, but as far as DAZ builds of carrara C7 was the best. The new big thing in C8 was modeling in the assembly room, broke in C8.5, the big thing{and reason for} C8.5 was genesis compatability. Which is about an exceptable 85% compatable, G2F/M not so much. In fact any poses released by DAZ in the last 2 years for genesis or G2F/M do not work in carrara; so most of what we paid for in C8.5 is parcially borked.

So basically I paid for a 2 year out of date for their own content, DAZ app. And no update/patch in 9 months, and I'm some how suposed to be happy about that?

Do ya feel me now?
