Well I could add a lot to that thread. It seems light at best. I mean for all the posts there isn't many issues listed. And it may have been better if it was just people listing their issues with C8.5. It might be good if someone went through and made a clear, concise list of the posted issues.

Don't waste time on updates to autofit. It workes based on clones/morphs, something you can actually do your self with Studio. I did so I could use redvipers A4 clothes on genesis. It really isn't that difficult, 10-12 steps mostly automated by Studio. I'd give a tutorial of how to add morph fixes{?} to autofit, but I did it by trial and error and can't remember the steps.  Just assume if I can do it, it isn't that difficult lol

None the less, I'll have to agree one of the big issues with carrara is DAZ not communicating with carraraests. I know DAZ has a priority list for C9. But as has been proven repeatedly in the past, DAZ's priorities aren't the same as carraraests. Most all the people that DAZ devs would have to fear if they communicated on the Carrara forum, aren't on the forum any more. And with carrara lagging so far behind the rest of the pack, I don't see how anything the DAZ devs could be doing with it could be any sort of big hairy industrial secret. And I don't think we want DAZ wasting a lot of developmental time; and as such money, working on something most cararaest aren't interested in and probably may never use.

As in DAZ may want C9 far more content compatable, but I think the carrara community would be more interested in SSS using maps, or fixes to a couple of dozen little aggrivations; I hate mip mapping, I end up with seams in skins quite often because of it, of coarse the shader scroll back issue, and so on.

Yes I want better content compatability, I love working with the latest DAZ dolly, always have. If you could go back in time you'd see I was always one of the first carraraests to jump on the new dolly flavor bandwagon. That is why I have so many morphs for Genesis.

So what is the biggest problem with carrara right now? No word from DAZ about C9 in a year. All this falderal will be moot if DAZ has actually dropped carrara development. All I have is a slip of the tongue to go on, but some times that is good enough for me.
