@ DUDU.car:

I think it's pointless to talk about which version of Carrara to use. Afaiac Carrara is only good to put a half-naked Victoria in the middle of some scenery, then spend a lot of time tweaking the textures so they look good and human skins don't look like thick leather, and hit the render button to get an output no better than a picture taken with a cheap point & shoot camera.

Carrara is dead. The dream of having Carrara, Studio, Hexagon and Bryce merged into one single mouth-watering 3D app will never materialize, because Daz does not have this kind of software engineering expertise.
