Dreadful indeed when you cant use Stonemasons stuff, lol...

Even still, you cant really blame the product because it may not work in Carrara, the fault must lie somewhere in Carrara itself... If we could determine exactly what causes the problem that would be real nice, but sadly thats never the case. Render settings, the objects themselves, light set ups, textures, surface replicator complexity, and the system we use could all be culprits, in whole or partially. Its common that we hear "start deleting objects to see which one causes the propblem", but Ive found that that just doesnt hold true... Crashes are like the Borg, resistance is futile.

One thing that totally sucks (and its not Carrara that has the grip on this issue, Bryce and others  too) is when you have a scene just the way you want it, but have to end up adjusting and making changes that you DONT like. I call it artistic settling, and loath it... I stopped using Bryce because of it.

Im really hoping the new system will solve my problems, but if it doesnt, I can see myself being VERY angry =P Im still trying to find the system I want, but soon we'll see if it fixes things a bit.

Im curious, are other Carrara users having the problem w/ the product by Stonemason?!? Id try seeing if Carrara or Hex could spot any bad geometry using their tools. Maybe its something fixable if indeed it is the object? Best of luck... I know I could use a bit myself.

There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count, and those that can't..
