Its interesting that another Daz3D Rendering product is in in beta.

So the people are Daz are pretty busy.

I only have version 6 pro so I cant participate in version 8 beta.

version 8 of what? bryce??

Carrara of course..Frankly after the rip off over the upgrade prices from 6 to 7 I'm not getting involved in this one especially as I've not learned anything in 7 because I can't afford any of the tuts on the hair and paint sections.

lol..rayraz..slow down.. 7 not out.. 8?? a miracle..or the end of the world perhaps if that happens.

Ooops sorry yes forgot to mention Carrara 8 Beta.

I got an awesome deal going from 5 to 6Pro, but the prices to upgrade from 6 to 7 havent come down.  I think once 8 comes out than 6 to 7 will be cheaper.

They have a couple of video previews for the 8 Beta and Its impressive.

The one clip shows a cloth being droped over a few cubes and it drapes the cubes like a real cloth.

Its amazing what you can do on a desktop.

I remember back on the days of the Commodore Amiga, it would take 48 hours or more to render a 320x200 resolution scene made of just a brick wall an a couple of glass spheres. :)

Its pretty neat what can be achieved with Bryce, and the machine doesnt have to be super powerfull.

I remember the early CG Days where everything was animated with simple geometric shapes the body, legs and head made of triangles, cones and spheres.

Now you got Poser and at the comfort of your desk you can produce something that would take a building of MainFrames to render.

 haha yea i was thinkin 8 for bryce is weird.. but it wouldnt be the 1st time a business has multiple versions of the same software are under development at the same time.

yeah analog dude. i'm right where u r. was a commodore 128 man. got the carrara 6 pro deal too. but i did download the beta 7 bryce. i'm dying for the upgrade from 6 pro to 7 pro to drop too. the landscape stuff is so cool in carrara i almost wonder if i need bryce.
