Hex works just fine on my W8.1 machine. Carrara can model but not near as well as Hex, in my opinion.

Carrara is compatible with Daz figures up to gen 4 and poser figures up to Poser 8.{no you can't work with genesis or G2F/M in the modeling room in C8.5}

That is a question we all want answered, but DAZ has never been good about advertising carrara and why us carraraest have always felt like second class DA$ customers.

Don't think because there is a beta DAZ is actually fixing carrara, it's just an update so it works with DAZ's latest customer leash. And has broken a lot of things.
