While contacting DAZ about all the issues with C8.5; namely that it wasn't very good at what it was built to do, be compatable with Genesis. It sliped that there wouldn't be an C8.6 and I might expect fixes in C9.

DAZ is notorius about not saying anything that might curtail sales. So like Bryce and Hexagon, DAZ would never say Carrara was out of development for fear of curtailing Carrara sales. So even though it was hinted that there was going to be a C9, there really is no reason to beleive there actually will be. 

 

My banning is an example. I posted for a third time; because the first two posts got removed, an answer to the question "should I buy Genesis items of G2F items". I told them Genesis was out of development and DAZ was doing nothing more with it. Oh at the time DAZ said genesis was still under development and I was banned for my "wild speculations". Guess what? Yep, DAZ never did another damn thing with Genesis.

So even if a DAZ rep stepped up and said "Carrara 9 has been delaid because of a compatability issue the subcontracter is having dificulties working out". I still wouldn't believe them till it came out.

 

None the less, that slip of a tongue from some one at DAZ is the best hope I have gotten for C9 so far.
