I returned a 'nice and professional' comment with a 'nice and professional' comment. You call it what you want. It's your privilege.

 Now if we could for a moment focus on the topic at hand.

Look at this 3D app. It's called Project Messiah. It sells sometimes for as low as $299.- in its full-blown 64-bit pro version.

A couple of samples of work done with it:

You can see more samples in their video gallery.

Can the new technologies developed by Daz come even close to what the $299.- Project Messiah can do? So far I have not seen any animation done with Genesis or G2F to substantiate this claim.

Regardless, even if it's possible to create such animations with G2F, you still need a renderer capable of rendering the animation with a high degree of realism, otherwise all the work done on Genesis or G2F goes to waste.

In other words you need to incorporate a technology like Embree into Carrara to fully bring-out the details of hi-def meshes, otherwise hi-def meshes are useless.

And if anyone thinks that I will pay upwards of $500.- for an Octane renderer whose Carrara plugin will most likely never be developed beyond a 1.0.1 version, they're sadly mistaken.
