Why can't I do a freaking simple copy and paste on this got dambed freaked up forum.

Not quoting an entire post just to address one line. 

So Poser will be getting all that neat stuff in 5 years, so it will be 5 years before poser catchs up with carrara?

Folks, carrara is about a half a step away from Poser like cloth dynaimcs. I can already use poser dynaimc clothes in carrara for draping. Carrara has had a soft body plugin for quite some time. In fact if you wanted V3 jiggling accoss your screen you could have done it in C7. 

Some times I think people forget there is an alturnative to Poser and Studio, that can do far more then both.

I jumped on and downloaded that free poser debue. Installed it, check it and it's content, will be uninstalling it all today. Nothing there of any use to me.

I Have an actual question for Rand, and it is some what poser related.

I really would like an out line, or something about this new store system. Frankly what I have read about it scares the hell out of me.

I don't want DAZ's nose in my content folder; what little there is there. And If I can't download and install my content myself, I wont be doing any more busness with DAZ.

If as a carrarest I am forced in to a studio content folder, and carrara's runtime compatabilty goes the way of transposer. I wont be upgrading carrara or doing busness with DAZ.

If for some reason I have trouble downloading, installing or useing content because I have CMS uninstalled, I'll stop doing busness with DAZ.

Right now carrara can use a lot of different model meshes. I much prefer a well organized runtime to a cluster F content folder. If DAZ trys to manacle me to the DAZ ball and chain, I will run.
