*not ten minutes after i read through this entire thread..... what shows up in my inbox, but an anouncement from daz saying they just released C6 standard.

i'll wait.... unless someone wants to buy it for me for a birthday pressie on saturday?  chuckles - thought not.

seriousely though, folks... no program is gonna be exactly the same as another.  that's the beauty and heartache of it all.  much as i'd LOVE application A to do this because Application B has that feature - it's not gonna show up.  i'd LOVE say, bryce, to act more like poser - but it doesnt.  it's bryce.  i'd LOVE poser to render like bryce.  alas, it doesn't.  instead, i'm teaching myself how to import into bryce (don't get me started on THAT headache).

it does little good to whine & moan about buggy software that's just been released.  while i agree they should wait until at least 90% of them are worked out, in this world where a hint becomes a rumor becomes a fact becomes an I WANT IT NOW - they speed things up, to the detriment of quality.  In essence, if you buy software within the first year of its release - expect the bugs - you get to play guinea pig.

also, even the best beta testers can't find ALL the issues.  and i imagine the programmers had a hard time keeping up with the comments from the beta tester peanut gallery.

sometimes, it takes someone with no experience at all (in a program or otherwise) to "break" something.

my .02 worth - and enjoy carrera, folks....  me, i'm sticking with poser - it was the first 3D program i managed to wrap my poor little mind around.

Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....
