I don't think DAZ3D even know if we're there yet!
When I first heard about the release of C6 I immediately registered my version of C5Pro that I'd bought from eovia. But the details didn't appear on my account so I got in touch. Last contact from support was yesterday without any mention of C6 being available.
Today I logged on to the Daz/Carrara forums to learn that C6 is actually available for purchase and people had already downloaded to start using it.
From my browsing of the forum there are a number of issues...
First up is that there are quite a few people reporting problems using P7 derived files to import into C6Pro. P6 and Daz Studio appear to be unaffected (in fact, there are murmurs that C6 may even be more integrated with Daz Studio.
Secondly, there was a suggestion that EF were not forthcoming with the SDK for integrating P7 files into C6Pro - this could explain the reason why there are problems.
If you use any of the new features of P7 then any import into C6Pro is doomed to failure.
There appears to be little coordination in the forum - so there are loads of problems and little feedback from Daz/developers on the likely causes. All the support is coming from those that have downloaded and installed C6. Meanwhile, there's been no announcement from DAZ on the release or, as the recent communication with support, internal knowledge within the company that it is actually available.
Hmmm! Methinks that I may have to revert to Poser 6.
