Quote - Why so much aggressive obsession against the DAZ company ?
We have C8 which works very well !
I don't know C8.5, but thanks to its exit, DAZ shows us that they works on the program.
I know, it is with the main goal of integrating Genesis and all the items which go with it, but we don't need that to carry out excellent things in Carrara which still forms part of the best softwares of the moment.
I believe that the “Wait and see” is much more constructive than unfruitful speculations, which should not prevent us to informing DAZ what the users would like to see evolving or integrating in the program…

We have been doing that since DAZ bought carrara, I have seen very little evidence DAZ is listening to anything we say. The fact that there isn't/not going to be a C8.6 is proof enough of that.

The angst is easy enough to explane, most carraraest are sick and tierd of be treated like second class customers.

DAZ sells content. It is in DAZ best interest then to make sure the apps it develops are compatable with said content. C8.5 was 2 years in the making to make it compatable with DAZ content. Before release DAZ knew it wasn't compatable with G2F/M or geographting, and that is was only margenally compatable with genesis/DUF. DAZ released C8.5 anyway and in a year has done nothing to update it to make it compatable with the figures it was suposed to be being built to be compatable with.

In other words DAZ isn't interested in selling carraraests content. If DAZ was carrara would have been updated to be compatable before release, and would have been updated to be able to use the latest releases; if you have bought poses/mat/morphs made in the last 6 months you would know carrara is not compatable with some DUF format change DAZ has made.

If you are going to charge me for a version of Carrara that is suposed to be compatable with the next generation of figures you had best make sure it is actually compatable. I do most all of my genesis/G2F/M staing in Studio because C8.5 isn't that compatable, certainly not with G2F/M or any of the latest posers, mats, or morphs.
