Thanks for the insult too, lovely.

You are correct sir, my mistake. 

All respect due, of course. I understand that it's apples and oranges or additive and subtractive.

Examples of naturalistic outdoor lighting that doesn't adhere to the immutable rules of physics?...

 I'm sure 100 years from now we'll be talking about Firefly rules of rendering the same way we might about that minor art movement known as impressionism.

Khai, do you ever have any other posture than profanity laden righteous indignation? Just sayin'.

I think it's the exception rather than the rule in terms of meanness in threads, in particular when certain topics and personalities are involved... especially a combination of the two. I've also noticed a kind of feeding frenzy mentality that comes into play, "Popcorn anyone?".

Sad but true.

Not quite sure how SM might incorporate meatballs but I agree it would be a helluva good idea!

OK. Henceforth ignored.

Your not here to discuss anything Zero. My mistake.

You are one argumentative dude, ZeVo. I just posted earlier my clarification about the term "budget". The term refers to cost not functionality.

Doesn't matter what version it is at now, 8.1 is the latest that will run on my Mac.

I'll take a look at the wiki... Thanks. 

OK. Bye.

I'm looking at my included documentation. I didn't say that I'm unable to access the community, even from within the app, to learn the how to use the features. Version 8.1 pro build 135.

It's just something that I think Daz should prioritize... I guess they quit development on Carrara. Not sure why they're hanging on to this stable of software, which still has users, if they are going to focus solely on DS.  I mean I get the focus, more power to them. it's a small pond. But to let the others wither away into obsolesence seems unnecessary. 

MaleM3dia, I purchased software from Daz, Carrara. this has nothing to do with DS. Wasn't even aware that DS documentation is incomplete. That is even more weird.

@ ZeVo and Wolf, everyone knows that learning the deep stuff with any software is going to take alot more than just reading the documentation. You are both stating the absurdly apparent. What's also absurdly apparent is that Daz's basic included documentation is about 3 versions behind. And has been for a long time. There's nothing to argue about with this, it's a complaint I've heard at every forum, in product reviews, and when I sit down to use Carrara. Why this is not being addressed is a mystery.
