OK, I somehow missed this. You NEED to use DIM to download Carrara 8.5 and its content? For real?

I'm thinking Blender is starting to look pretty along about now.

And I'm with you Stan. I don't forsee a fix update for 8.5. C9 is supposedly just around the corner, so why would they bother anyway.

DAZ assurances are fast becoming just wind blowing in their own sales (sails).
