I dought genesis will ever work better in carrara then it does now. I dought auto fit will ether.

At least in C8.5. I'm of the opinion all develiopment of C8.5; what little was going on, ended when it was released, so there wont be a bug fix update. I mean we already know DAZ devs were working on C9 long before C8.5 was released; and in my opinon why it took so long.

None the less the big new feature in C8.5 was .duf compatability. And for what testing I did; I quit shoping at DAZ ages ago, most .duf files opend fine. But if DAZ has so little faith that new content wont work in carrara, why should a shopper?

When DAZ first bought Carrara at C5.5, they said most all poser content then carried would work in carrara. The figures did, mil2 clothes worked fine, mil3 was hit or miss; more often miss. I had to retuned the first 5 articals of clothing I bought from DAZ becaught they didn't work in C5.5 at all. 

I later rebaught the clothes; after C6, because I really wanted the clothing working not the money back.

If DAZ had offered C8.5 at a reasonable price I would have it now and be using it regarless of how well genesis or autofit worked, because of the other options that work fairly well and I got used to using; like soft cloth draping for stills. 

The ability to drape practically any clothes in a still scene was a big help to making a more realistic scene.

But back to the topic at hand. I think DAZ is lossing a lot of sales to carraraests, especially new ones, by not listing content that is pretty well compatable with carrara as carrara compatable. I mean with the new .duf format carrara can use content for Studio 4 as well as it ever could any poser content.

Yes shaders will need tweaking; no biggy and Fenric's{?} plugins make it a breeze, from what I read. Lights will need work; still quite easily done. But for how many carraraest is this not SOP for any scene?

To surmize lol

It's my opinion DAZ is losing sales of content to carraraests simply because they don't have them listed as compatable. Most DAZ content comes in .duf, the main feature in C8.5 is .duf compatability. To hear DAZ tell it the reason C8.5 took so long was because .duf was an unfinished file format, so as it was updated the beta had to be updated. It's done now; maybe, so most all of the new content at DAZ should be quite reasonably compatable.
