Quote - .....I don't understand why more people don't use Carrara, it has had all the bells and whistles that are just now appearing in poser. Plus poser content is so easily integrated. Perhaps another evil plot by DAZ, but whatever. I'll still remain a loyal poser user... nice to have a more fully featured alternative, though.

Genesis? Couldn't really care... current DAZ studio doesn't run on my Mac, although Carrara 8 pro DOES which is weird. Was a little miffed when I heard V5 was only for DAZ but I've never actually utilized the genesis figure so listening to the opinions on this thread is kinda giving me a heads up. Frankly, if I need a monster I'll just sculpt one in Zbrush.

 

I used Carrara for a while. I was very impressed with the renders, but unfortunately my PC had a real dislike for it and it was a struggle to get anyhere. As far as I remember I gave up using it because there was no 64bit version at the time, or something so it's long dropped out of my workflow. Pity, because it was fantastic at shiny metal armour and realistic lighting. As usual Daz's lack of interest in their software was very offputting.

Genesis just offers nothing I want I need.
