Quote - So far I have found work arounds for most issues with gensis; named Studio.

There is more to C8.5 then genesis. The soft cloth phtsics is pracktical worth what I paid for C8.5. I was working on one here recently with G2F, V4's sexy dress, and softcloth/pinned. It was one of those strapless number so I pinned it to G2F's chest/back with a very slim line. Worked nice, but I was never happy with the poses. None really showed the drapage well.

But the big push, most touted feature of C8.5 was genesis compatability. Which stumbles a lot then fall flat on it's face in gen2. Which was out months before C8.5. DAZ knew the gen2s weren't C8.5 compatable befor eit came out yet never made it compatable.

Now I have grown quite dependent on Studio 4.6 for far more then want I want to. Yes I wanted it for optitex dynamic sims; which work in C8.5 pretty nicly most of the time. I also wanted it for the Hex bridge; if you haven't tried this you don't know what youa re missing. This is how charcter morphing and clothing fixing should be, wish carrara was comparable.

But no, I pretty well have to stage my figure in Studio; cloth, pose, texture, to finish staging in carrara. Quite often genesis is quite easy to work with this way. G2F on the other hand often errors out. Although I'm sure most of you have seen what I have been doing with genesis, G2f, and that is just the good 25% lol

You really should check some of the tools in Studio for working with genesis, G2F. They are worth having studio on your comp. Thing is, I don't know if you want the latest version. I wont update for fear of losing the present compatability.

"WE have removed several posts from this thread in order to allow it to go back to it’s original purpose."

And this is why there is no reason to try to discuss issues with carrara on the DAZ forum. it gets turned to white bread fast. Any one from DAZ that poped on to read the forum would be clueless because of the sanitized information.

Got to agree with you Stan. Studio has some great features that are needed in Carrara. I use studio a fair amount, but I still prefer Carrara. 3Delight still isn't as user freindly as rendering in Carrara (or as fast, unless you really dig under the hood).

I posted a couple of issues in the DAZ thread that I know are things that drive you nuts as well. Don't know if it will do any good, but thought I'd give it a shot.
