I think I'm done. DAZ had NOTHING to do with the CARRARA I own. I think a day will come when they sell it off to someone else. Until then, I'll use 5.1 Pro when it works( for most of my purposes it's still great) and get C4D or 3DS max for when it doesn't.

Sad, tho... Carrara and RayDream both represented and entirely new approach to  3-D modeling that one would have expected to interest (and be emulated by) higher-end apps.

Sad, too... because Carrara-heads (Some of whom have been around since AMIGA) are a unique and somewhat renegade bunch. Kinda like Linux users. Honorable affectations, both. And I imagine they'll be waiting in the wings for the "other shoe to drop".

That shoe will drop when sales do.

You reap what you sew.

And don't even get me started on Hexagon...sheesh.
