I have now bought a bunch of content and, after installation, I can't find anything.

At least Howie Farkes takes the time to do a nice job on the wiki so you can find out how to install and where to find things.  I got his Arboretum and the trees don't show up in the browser, but he let's you know how to get at them through the insert menu.

I just installed Replicator Grass and can't figure out any way to get to the object files or use the product.  No Wiki, no instructions, no nothing.  I installed to another folder to see where everything went, but can't get to it with the browser or insert menu.

One of the basics of software is to create rules that vendors and users can follow for enhancement of the software, but Carrara seems averse to creating a common methodology for content creation, installation and documentation.

I don't think I'll buy anything else made for Carrara unless they go to zip files so I can see what the content is and where it goes.  And good vendors can include a readme file.

Til then, I'll just have to settle for Poser content - at least you can install predictably to a runtime and see the content in the browser!
