@ Lobo3433:

Thanks for your reply. I wasn't aware that there is still an Hexagon forum. I guess I didn't look hard enough.

I would nonetheless appreciate if you would leave this thread here, because its intended audience is actually Carrara users.

The point I am trying to make - and I believe this point has been made by many other users in many threads - is that Daz does not have adequate development resources to make any significant works on its dying products, i.e. Carrara, Hexagon, and Bryce.

If you are a Carrara unconditional, then keep using it as it is, until it breaks on your hardware/OS. But don't expect a brand new mind-blowing Carrara 9 to ever see the light of the day.
