I check this forum regular, if I'm not running my mouth, carrara forums seem pretty dead. And I am always working on something lol

My figures folder has been around since before I got C5. I used to download static people models to smooth and retexture in Metasequoia and then render in Kirkythea.

Still have my mil2 runtimes lol. I've been running multiple runtimes much longer then I have used Studio. There for a long time the only Studio content I used was Optitex clothing; to sim and send to carrara. I've used Studio and the Hex bridge since Studio got some tools.

L I still have my old Mayadoll runtime lol A figure that was ahead of it's time, then forgotten about.

Ey, that is smart content, little more then a sparkely decal on a trunk lid. Wounldn't work with 95+-% of my content. IMHO it really is little more then a customer hook. Best way to keep you from using none DAZ content is to make sure you never see it even after it's installed. Same with DIM, get used to it and how do you install content from any other content vender?

Right now I am having a lot of fun using ghastly's freebie clothes from shareCG. DIM and CMS would be useless with it.

Even at their most innocuous DIM and CMS limit what content you use. Not what you can use, you just have to install it manually and look for it in the regular Studio content folders; not smart content.
