The issue I have is the majority of those items are simply shaders for textures/skin sold separately. In order to actually use the on sale shaders you have to have the not cheap or on sale textures/skins. I can build my own shaders if I have the textures. And at this point I doubt you'll find a beginner carraraest. Now, as far as I know DAZ content stopped being compatible with carrara quite some time back; with the release of G3 many new DUFs wont open in carrara. Same with Poser. Carrara stopped being compatible at P8 I believe.

The real kicker is DAZ is still selling the clothing control for the defunct Optitex dynamic clothing. Surprised DAZ isn't still selling the optitex dynamic clothing... oh wait DAZ is.

The best thing for cararra and us is for DAZ to sell it to a group that would do something with ti. But that would be too much like handing an enemy a weapon. With out ever thinking if that weapon uses the ammo they make they are still making a profit off it. Carrara never was a competitor with Studio for content; no cararra never used DAZ content better then Studio, right lol But DAZ never really quite got the more apps that are compatible with Studio content the more customers you have; till very lately.
