It's just insane that DS do not want to sort making this great tool available. Even if they are working on a direct import solution for Carrara, this has great potential.

Silene, that was my initial response as well. But now I am starting to think along other lines.

Daz certainly has their own logic and long term strategy. Everyone assumes that Daz wants to get G7 into more platforms, but simply won't spend the money to make the necessary changes. However, what if both of those assumptions are false?

I propose that something changed at the corporate level a few years ago, which resulted in a new strategy. Daz actually doesn't want to share G7 - with anybody. The evidence is pretty much in our faces. Unlike in the past, Daz has obviously made no effort to get their latest creation (G7) into Poser or Carrara, or even the Unity engine. Instead, it appears to me that they are trying to protect and enhance the position of DS, by making it the only product that has G7 support.

In other words, they actually don't want G7 in Carrara. It dilutes their "brand." Even for the Unity engine, they are only offering Generation 6.

It's not shocking. This is how beancounters think, more often than not.

If I am right, then nothing can be done, except for hoping that talented Carrara (and Poser) enthusiasts find a way to work around their strategy.

Just speculation.
