I'll bet the people at Eovia are retarded little trolls who think we are all stupid. They don't give a damn about making a patch, well mabye a tire patch or something, but not a software patch, I doubt they know how. Are oyu reading this Eovia? Or are you too busy figuring a way to get us all to buy Amapi?

Yeah, it might be talking to a shrink trying cure it's nightmare, or it could just be plain old retarded, with no hope of a cure. Carrara is a mongoloid, and Eovia is a schizophrenic compulsive liar who was given a key to a large city full of people smarter and more creative than it is.

I love it, but it disturbs me. Now I'm going to have nightmares about the wierd blue thing on the wall. Now that I look at it, it really, really scares me. I think I've seen him before at , no never mind, I can't talk about it anymore.

cristianr, you've got to be joking, right!? Are you guys at Eovia drunk or worse? Have you been paying any attention to what been said here at renderosity?

I see where your coming from, and yes I was being fairly insulting. But I bought Carrara for professional use, and this has become a nightmare. I have lost money and clients because of Carrara and all of the crap that's gone on with it. It's hard to explain to clients that I can't render their animations because the software doesn't want to run right. If I had unlimited money I'd go buy 3D Studio Max or Lightwave and be happy and you'd never hear me complain again. If Eovia would just make a clear statement about the situatuion of the patch(whether it's coming or not) I'd calm down, but instead they keep sending me emails about discounted prices on Amapi.I'm sure it's no easy task to get Carrara up to par,but when they bought Carrara they also bought all of the old customers along with it. And here we all are still waiting for apatch, let alone a clear honest statement about when and if it will exist. I didn't write it to offend you and I apologize, but I've lost a lot of sleep over this whole thing. We need to bitch, that's what this forum is here for if it's needed, mabye Eovia will listen and make an announcement, or even a patch.

It's possible that getting aggressive is the only way to make Eovia understand that we want our patch. I don't like complaining but I've been patient for a long time(since the day I bought Carrara)and we should be venting our frustrations on here, it's healthy and non-violent. Mabye just mabye Eovia will pay attention and realise that we are not buying Amapi just fill the void that Carrara is leaving. I realise that Eovia didn't screw us in the first place, Metacreations did! But they have to understand that we were left on the side of the road with a screwed up program. I wonder if Metacreations informed them when they bought Carrara that there were a whole bunch of angry customers that came along with the purchase of Carrara who were tricked into buying the program in the first place. "Damned little korrigans"!!!!I won't say retarded or troll again, I promise.

What I find interesting is the fact that they are trying to sell us Amapi now, but just a few months we all had the chance to download Amapi 4.15 for free. I downloaded it and have used it, it's a useful little tool in the creation of 3D models, but why would we buy Amapi 6? There isn't a great deal of difference between 4.15 & 6, and niether can fill the shoes of a full fledged 3D program(like what Carrara was intended to be-(a cheap solution to 3D Studio Max). Which if the bugs and quirks were worked out-it would be just that.

I love bowling, my fiance and I go 2 or 3 times a week. The only thing I would change is the top of the bowling pins, they are too fat and round. Otherwise, nice textures, now I want to go bowling and get away from the computer for a while.Did you make the pins in the vertex room?

I emailed Eovia the other day, in fit of frustration, this is what I got back from them today. And it still mentions nothing about a new patch, I find it good for a short chuckle. Dear PO'd Carrara user, This is Carol with Eovia/TGS support. > You wrote... > Are you guys going to give us a new patch to fix Carrara or not? You > might want to go read what's being said at Renderosity. Were all getting > a little sick and tired of this whole thing. We already have a patch available on our website for Carrara 1.0-1.01 ( You didn't mention your version.) If you're inquiring about the release date for Carrara by Eovia, I would say an early summer release can be expected. > And by the way, I don't want to buy Amapi, I already got my free > version thanks. You're welcome, we hope you enjoy it. If you obtained a full version of Amapi 3D at no charge, it's likely that you have version 4.1. The current version of Amapi 3D is 6.01. > We want a patch, where is it?????????? > Pissed off Carrara user Your frustration is understandable. Eovia's R&D has/ is working very hard, and as quickly as possible to create and complete a good product. We appreciate your patience. Thank you

Bryce 4 was barely worth the upgrade cost over v3, but it is and always will be an incredible piece of software. But I do hope that version 5 will be a true new version of the program, not just a few minor features, Corel does need to make an announcement, and soon. We are waiting here for any info, and nothing has been said. It's too bad they didn't aquire Ray Dream Studio5.5 also,wouldn't it be nice to have some true basic modeling tools in Bryce, along with a faster render engine, I'm just wishing here, but wishes sometimes do come true. Hopefully Bryce 5 will be something to shout about.

I actually like my my free 4.15 of Amapi, it works pretty well. It crashes once in a while, but overall I'd say it's a pretty cool program for what it is. Ijust don't want to buy it right now, mabye later though. Like jval said we just wnat Carrara to work right, and nothing more.

Just like I suspected all along. No new patch? Why would I buy Carrara 2 when I still can't get Carrara 1 to work right? All my bitching and complaining was not in vain, Just out of curiosity, how much is the Carrara 2 upgrade going to cost for registered Carrara 1 users???? If it's not super cheap, I'm not even going to consider it, as I suspect many others won't be either. How come I still don't feel any better about the state of Carrara? Gee,I can buy a new version of a program that doesn't even work? What a deal. WE ARE STILL NOT SATISFIED MR.CLAPPIER! YOU PROMISED US A PATCH A LONG TIME AGO, WHERE IS IT?

75%? More like a 95% discount needs to be offered to current Carrara users! But I doubt that'll happen, they'll probobly give us a coupon for $5.00 off! They still can't be honest and face the facts, and tell what we're in for as far as a patch, or the upgrade price. They have no idea what they are up agaist when it comes to dealing with all of us old Carrara users(we're a feisty bunch, aren't we?) and with good reason, we've been pissed on by MetaFu#*ations, and jacked around by Eovia teasing us with a patch. They must think we were all born yesterday. Let's hear some more!!

ncloos, I live in Denver too, your right about DIA, but just wait for TREX to begin, I-25 will be a nightmare, the people that run this city need help, by the way don't come to Colorado, we're full!WELCOME TO BEATIFUL SUNNY COLORADO! NOW GO HOME! I hope they make a patch, but we may be in for a new Carrara 2.0 or whatever number they give it. They still won't say if we actually get a new patch, I don't want to have to spend a dime, unless version 2.0 is so amazing I just gotta have it. I just hope we get a patch, or a 95% discount on the upgrade.

Straight up man. Do we get a free patch or not. The above message is not very clear, to say the least. What will the upgrade cost? Do registered users get it free? Come on, no more games! Be clear and honest about the whole thing, we need to know.
