Hello ladies and gentleman,

titanic401 is a troll. Please don't feed him. He hijacked a thread in June and is very close to getting banned. He only shows up to insult members. His lack of any work and nothing but vitriol speaks volumes.

I am NOT a troll.

I am however an ex-carrara user who got wise and for the life of me can't figure out why anybody would continue to PAY for a old, worn-out piece of software that is no different or better than it was 10 years ago?

Does that sound like DAZ cares to you?

You call me a "troll", but prove me wrong on anything I've stated. If you want to ban me for stating my opinion, knock yourself out but all that will do is prove one of the other statements I made that if anyone dares say anything against DAZ they will be silenced.

And why? Because DAZ wants to keep you paying for software that hasn't had any new features or modelers for YEARS, features that are now considered basic to every other package around. Any motion tracking in carrara yet? Any compositing? Any animation drivers? Does carrara have access to any other rendering engine yet which isn't a creation of DAZ? Any softbodies? Any cloth simulation? Any smoke simulation? Any nodes? A built in game engine, perhaps? Any HD rendering yet?

I think you and I both no the answers to some, if not all, of these questions and that would be 'NO'. And why not? DAZ hasn't collected enough money yet? Why is it that carrara still looks and functions the same as it did 10 years ago? What's DAZ's excuse for that?

You accuse me of "hijacking" a thread - how is stating my opinion and asking legitimate questions "hijacking"? So, basically, anybody can post anything they want as long as you and DAZ agree with the content?

You claim I have no work to show? What "work" would you consider proper without being accused of "hijacking"? I can quickly go pose a figure, put a sword in it's hand, brag about my "degree" - which by the way is pretty much ALL carrara is still capable of these days.

Instead of throwing out accusations and calling me a "troll", why don't those who still think carrara is relevent and still insist on paying to keep waiting for a .xx "update" from DAZ, show their work. Just between you and me, there is no "update" is there? The reality of it is that DAZ is just collecting money based on the 'hope' of an update. And in the end, update or no, carrara will function the same as it always has - lousy.

So ban me if you don't agree with my opinions under the guise of being a "troll". Truth doesn't matter anymore apparently, unless it's the way somebody wants to hear it.
