The free daz importer for Blender 2.8: https://blenderartists.org/t/daz-importer/684697
Wow! Well, there we go. If this plugin works even reasonably well, then I suspect Blender to become the ultimate companion to Daz Studio or Poser for creators and artists who want to create their own stuff. That's fabulous. I know Daz Studio has Iray render now, which is fantastic but requires at least a gamer-level GTX Nvidia card to be useful. Poser has a Cycles clone, which is excellent, but not quite as good as Blender's Cycles. However, the Eevee solution is the next step. While not as accurate and realistic as Iray or Cycles, it's as good or better than most other Real Time engines out there, like Marmoset. And it can use most of Cycles shaders without any trouble! That's powerful for animations. Way faster than any GPU path tracer out there, and almost as good.
I suggest any Carrara user who isn't happy with lack of dev to really check out Blender 2.8. Most of the complaints people had with it have been solved now, and now it's as easy to learn as Lightwave, Maya, 3dsmax or any of the others. So there's no reason not to now.
