Quote - Nobody here knows the status of Carrara. Speculation and rumor.

That's true. Unfortunately, one person putting forth speculation is based on a reliable source and unfortunately (in this case) the person has been more accurate than not.

Quote - I do know that DAZ isn't particularly good at communicating. That's for certain.

True.

Quote - According to an independent survey about 5 years ago, Carrara was the third most installed CG software.

Wow. I hadn't heard that. That's GOOD news.

Quote - but I don't think DAZ will be dropping a product with that kind of market penetration - especially if it helps sell digital content. .

I agree, but then again stranger things have happened.

I guess all we can do is keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.
