As they said the splat then you could replicate those :) I was reading though can't find the post where some of Howiefarkes have over 1,000,000 trees in them.  http://howiefarkes.cgsociety.org/gallery/559385/  he talks about running into the then version of carrara limit of 10,000 per instance and he had over 100 of them.  I am not sure if that is still the limit or not.

Its gorgeous! Well thought out and the morphs to tuck/fit things in work great!

Going to get now... Thank you very much!

He is indeed.  You don't have to press the shift at least not in ver 7 windows.

You could also create a seperate runtime, and I use doPDF (Free) and make a snapshot of the page I got it from and place that in the readme of the runtime that these are kept in.  

Also a quick note in case you didn't see it you can get C6 pro in 3dArtist magazine.

 I would check that the multi-threading is checked on the PC.  If it is, then to check if the system sees both processors.  Press Control-alt-delete or right click on the task bar, bring up the task manager.  Select Performance and it should have  a CPU Usage History section.  If it has 2 graphs there then the OS see's both processors.  if you do things you should see most activity in one, but should see some in both.

Quote - I'm not seeing a good upgrade path from 6pro  to 7pro .

Carrara 7 Pro Upgrade from Carrara 6 Pro is  $169.95

Carrara 7 Pro Upgrade from Carrara 6 Pro is $99.93 for Platinum Members.

So if I sign up for the Annual Platinum Membership so I can do the upgrade for the Lower Price, I would have to pay $99.95 + $99.93 = $199.98  which is more than if I simply do the upgrade without being a Platinum Member.

The other option would be to sign up for the Monthly Platinum Membership for $7.95 and than cancel the membership.

The other thing that is strange is that the Monthly membership is $4.55 cheaper over the annual subscription over a 12 month period.  Normally Annual subscription are made cheaper than monthly subscriptions as an incentive for people to sign up.

The only thing is missing adding in the inital cost of joining.  The monthly being cheaper by $4.55 its not including the purchase of the initial membership of $29.95.  So we would have this 7.95*12=95.40 + 29.95 = $125.35 about 25.40 savings. On the second year or if you choose to switch from monthly to annual, you pay the renewal rate of $69.95 compared to the monthly of $95.40 about $25.45 in savings.  I started out a monthly then switched to annual by just the 69.96.  I know some are doing that with getting the Carrara by paying for just the membership and when there funds build up switching to the full annual if they are keeping it.

That would mean for those not having the platinum club,  if you wanted to take advantage of the upgrade of C6 pro it would be 129.90. 

What Antaran says, that as long as you register the C6 Pro and get the serial number in your account they don't make a distinction on where you got it for the upgrade.  There is a long thread in the members forum.  But at worse case call/write to sales and let them confirm.  Then you should be able to get the upgrade to 7 Pro and a free upgrade to 8 Pro when its release by purchasing during this special offer.  Just have to join the plat club to do it.

Quote - I would be interested in the upgrade from C6Pro to C7Pro as well. Budgets are very tight right now, and if DAZ is reasonable I would jump at an upgrade offer.

Its a very attractive price on the upgrade sale price,  now as a bonus of getting a free upgrade to the corresponding version of Carrara 8 when it is released

Here is the post in the Daz Forums

You have to be a Platinum Member as the offer seems to be only posted in the Members Forum.  It says that if you purchase Carrara 7 or 7 Pro or upgrade from 6 / 6 Pro that you will get a free update to Carrara 8 (same Pro or Standard version that you bought upgraded).  The extra discount apparently is on Platinum Members.  I show the Plat price for upgrading from 6 Pro to 7 Pro at $99.93 even if you bought a Platinum Membership for one month it would still be an excellent savings.  

I should clarify in my posting above that the free upgrade is for those who purchase 7 standard/pro or upgrade to 7 standard/pro (the one in the Magazine being C6 Pro that can be upgraded) who are Platinum members during this special.  I wasn't clear and wanted to make sure it didn't sound like those who have 7 will get a free upgrade to 8.

Since the issue in question here should be hitting the streets in the US pretty close to now.  I thought a bump on this to remind everyone that the free upgrade for platinum members from C7 Pro to C8 Pro and sale is going on about upgrades from 6 Pro to 7 Pro would be a good idea.

Nods.. :/ I hope so most you could do would be write sales and throw yourself on there mercy and see

How long ago did you get 7 Sparrownightmare?  If it was in the last 30 days you could get a refund and buy again or talk to sales about giving you the 8 so you didn't have to go through the hoops

Well with my wallet crying... they are mine.. thanks for the sale!
