> Quote - that ebook on character creation sounded interesting. I'd like to read DAZ's methods on the subject.

actually the book isn't on character creation and isn't by DAZ, it is a guide to using DAZ studio (and is an actual book not an ebook).  But it does indeed include free versions of Carrara and Hexagon.
