Haven't touched Poser since P6.

The only handle to get on runtimes is how you want to sort them. Hell I still have my V2/M2 runtimes; I don't know, just still have them lol When my V4 poses folder got out of hand I sorted it to mats, morphs, and Poses. Now it seems I need to do the same with her figures folder, maybe sort it to characters, hair, modern, scifi, fansity, and naughty lol

Carrara's content menus are still a weak point. If I could hack C8.5 to fix stuff myself, that would be in my top ten to fix. Number one would be shader list role back. An aggrivation I have had to deal with for far too long.

But I have spent all I intend to till DAZ fixes the present issues with C8.5, ie. not being able to use poses, mats, or morphs that have come out in the last 6 months. If I can't use it in carrara there is no point in me buying it; and I have $60 worth of just G2F content on my wish list {I think my stonemason scenes wish listed is up to $380 now  } I already have about $30 worth of poses for Jack's sets I should have gotten refunds on. That would be the mad doctor/nurse mats and poses for westpark, and the same for the moonshine diner. None of it works in carrara.

I'm pretty well using Genesis and G2F as much as I can. I just really like working with the figures, carrara doesn't but I do lol I don't like having to set up my characters in Studo the only big adavantage; besides content working, is the Hex bridge. The problem with staging in Studio is Studio has some hyper active smoothing/antipoke though thing going on, that will fool you in to thinking everything looks good, open the scene in carrara and you wonder what happened lol

But I'm just preaching to the choir here, and even if I could get back on the DAZ forum that would last about as long as my first post. lol And the way it looks no one there will get up in DAZ's face about these issue. Seems the lead forumite there is just candy coating C8.5 in to a diabetic coma.
