Hello again.
I am also very optimistic about Carrara's future. Just like Mark is.
Bob has stated and so has the rest of the Carrara team and DAZ that CARRARA is not going to be turn into just a content users but it will be develop just as before with features that the community has requested. If you look at the DAZ bio page you will also see that they have added another eng. to the current Carrara team.
Things are looking very good.

Thread: TODAY DAZ chatroom event.. | Forum: Carrara
<DAZ_Bob> Ringo?
Are there plans to have better character animation tools and support in
both Carrara and D/S?
such as riggin tools.
<DAZ_Charl> yes we are working on improving the character animation for Carrara. Now
that Carrara is owned by DAZ it has become even more important for us
YES!
<DAZ_Charl> and obviously Daz Studio is dedicated to character animation...
ty
Carrara has much better lighting controls and options than Studio, with
DAZ now having Carrara, are additional light controls in Studio, specially things
like falloffs being pushed back? The lack of controls in Studio really hurts
developing lightsets in time and quality.
<DAZ_Charl> we are planning to move towards sharing code between the two
applications so that we can have similar functionnalities across all our
applications
<DAZ_Chad> Ultimately this will accelerate the time to market for functionality like
better light controls in both Studio and Carrara.
Quote - no rigging tools for D|S discussed.
"Better integration between applications" doesn't say a lot about tools to rig or make files that go back an forth.
Currently Poser 4 Propack, Poser5, and Poser 6 are required because of the setup room to rig figures for posing and getting a poser file that can be imported into D|S, Carrara, D|S/Bryce.
In the current Daz software lineup there is no way to model in Hexagon or Carara or Bryce and rig for a poseable figure in D|S.
of course the minute that Daz does do this, there is no need for Poser support anymore and a division between Daz and Poser will become more previlant.
D|S 4 years of development, Vicki3 to Vicki4 - 4 years of developement. I don't hold my breath for Daz to do anything inovative or quick.
The captured Chat was a big PR, didn't see anything that said otherwise to me. Daz is Daz until of course they get enough to sell off the company.
I think Corel is ready to ditch Painter, Daz could have the entire Metacreation line, for all the good it did Metacreation.
Thread: TODAY DAZ chatroom event.. | Forum: Carrara
Let me clear up my statement in regards to Poser6.
Carrara 5 support Poser6 that is why the carrara developers acquired the Poser6 SDK.
I was just wondering why you depend so much on Poser6? Even if Carrara supports Poser6 would you like to have better character animation tools build into Carrara and not just dependt on Poser 6 for everything? That is what I was getting at not that Poser6 won't be supported. I would much prefer having the best character animation tools in Carrara.
I wouldn't mind loading content via NATIVE Poser import and doing kick butt animations in Carrara.
3. You should know by now that via NATIVE poser import you DONOT have to have poser install in order to use Poser contest . Transposer poser imports requires Poser4,5 or 6 to be install and it was updated to support Poser 6 for the use of Dynamic hair and clothing.
Relax Carrara isn't Bryce the Carrara developers are way to busy writting code . Charles just took about 1 hour off yesterday for the Chat event and than went back to work. All of DAZ is busy getting things set up for proving better customer support , updating software, content etc.
Just so you know I have been using and beta tested Poser3,4,5 and 6 so I am not new to Poser. But I just do not want to depend on Poser to do character animations if I am going to create the scene in Carrara I would prefer to have the character animation tools in CARRARA.
thanks for listening.
Quote - . Ringo asking what we need poser for when using carrara does not sound good to me coming from a beta tester. So, where do I get the cr2 from for the figure to import into carrara to begin with. Ringo probably can't say anything, I understand that. NDA I would guess.
I need to get back to my waterfall I've been creating in Carrara, but I need to use Poser for some dymamics to make it work.

You know who believes it.....us the Carrara betatesters believe it.:thumbupboth:

But they won't be forcing anyone to use content as stated in this quote.
"<DAZ_Chad> We're also happy to provide content only to those with no interest in DAZ
software. We want that content to be the best available.
<DAZ_Chad> Ideally users that come to DAZ from one specific background (either
software or content), will learn the advantages of expanding their useage of DAZ
products. And we want our software and content to work extremely well together.
<DAZ_Chad> As we all know, to make a 3D animation, a single person typically can't
do it all from scratch, unless you have a year or so to devote to the effort.
<DAZ_Chad> So regardless of skill level or background, we see software as two great
solutions that work well together. But they don't have to.
<DAZ_Chad> We just want you all to keep doing what you do so well. Keep it up! "
Thread: TODAY DAZ chatroom event.. | Forum: Carrara
What is the main reason that you need to use Poser with Carrara? If you could do 90% of what poser does in Carrara beside loading content via native import wouldn't you be better off than having to use Poser ?
Quote - Very interesting reading.
It confirms that DS will be the main app integrated into Carrara and Poser will be phased out. Shame, I bought into Carrara for the Poser Factor, but that was just a coule of weeks before Daz bought. Times like this I wish I could see into the future, well at least a couple of week ahead. LOL.

Thread: Particles and simulating preview | Forum: Carrara
The particle engine is NOT a fluid or softbody engine do not get the mix they do not work the same way.
You cannot create ripples just by dropping objects into a pool. The pool water would have to be a softbody dynamic and IT ISN"T at this time. Learn the features and limitation of the particle engine and read the manual it helps.

Nomuse ,
Run carrara and look in the credits and you will really find out who Charles is.
He created the Carrara render engine, Global Illumination, Physics, Caustics, Sub Surface Scattering, NPR and much much more. So he is responsible for what has been in Carrara and what will be added in future versions.
Next time do a bit of research regarding who these persons are.
It is your choice to attend or not that is all.
Thread: Live chatroom event with DAZ Productions Inc. | Forum: Carrara
Nomuse.
Charles Brissart, Director of Software R&D Is the Lead engineer for Carrara and he is now director of all the Software R&D for DAZ. So you will be talking to the main guy.
Thread: Live chatroom event with DAZ Productions Inc. | Forum: Carrara
We will capture the transcript and will be available later the same day.
You maybe surprise but we get lots of people in the chatevent in the morning.

HI,
No word regarding Hexagon 2 for Mactel.
The Carrara 5.1 UB version has been under development for a while. It takes months to port it over.
Hexagon 2 was just release a short time ago and DAZ does have plans to have a UB version for the furure.
