New to Carrara. Read all the great things about C6, so bought the C5 pro pack at Daz to get C6 pro. A large number of people doing 3D workflow, have 2 monitors. I am very dismayed that the (don't know the correct names for them yet) the pallet on the right is stuck inside the doc window. And the pallet at the bottom is stuck at the bottom. That neither can be torn off and moved off to the side into-onto a second monitor, ala, poser, photoshop, illustrator, etc. That you can't make your working view port as big as possible. That needs to be changed in the next version if not sooner. Very limiting. Also it appears in very limited testing early this morning that if you try to connect a poser runtime to the content that is not inside the carrara apps folder on an Intel Mac, you end up having to locate every geometry, every texture, manually. It seems smart enough to load the icons, but too dumb to find the corresponding files the cr2, pz2, etc is point to. Even the !Daz morph stuff for V3, S3P it can't find. Makes the program extremely painful to use. Who can remember that the texture for X piece of cloth is located in under Y artists name in their texture folder. Tried making an alias to my runtimes and placing that inside the main carrara apps folder no dice. Yet the content that comes with the download that I installed inside the carrara apps folder works just fine, other then the content window is to small and limiting as stated above. Granted I have barely started to read the docs, something I plan to do over the long weekend we have coming up here in the States. Based on other programs I use, the interface for these two keys points needs to be brought up to date in the next release. Plus it's missing the all important "Make Art" button! :tongue2:
