You are certainly right, Andrew (HW), but Studio??? NEVER!!! Carrara can stay alive for so many years, I don't see what can kill it. A few new plugins are born the last months/weeks thank to Philemo. He's not alone, I have seen another member (sorry, I forget he's name) on DAZ forum, and don't forget our Misty with Genesis 3 in Carrara. I'm shure that peoples in the clubs are very capable to open the core of Carrara and launch it in the public, they are thousands in the world, but we don't need that yet. If I should choose another program, I don't know the wich one for now but Studio... not for me!
