Well, I rely on burning a DVD+/-R for regular use and an exact identical DVD-RAM for storage. DVD-RAM has an extended error correction with the UDIF format and should keep data at least 20 years save. DVD-RAM is also about 2 Euro here in Europe.
Thread: Bryce vs Carrara | Forum: Carrara
Well, honestly I have Vue5 and I'm a bit fed up with e-on's policy. Instead of removing bugs, they worked on their strange content protection code, which messed up a lot of things. Vue is very expensive for European users, so I finally dropped it. I can do a lot of fantastic things with Carrara 5 Pro and I'm sure that Carrara 6 will catch up with Vue again. I don't have the money to support two midrange application at the same time and with Carrara I get a small modeler to modify imported things in Carrara. The render engine is also fast and I'm pleased with the results.
Vue6 landscape are not far ahead of Carrara, but I have to admit, that the presets are better. The atmophere effects of Vue 6 are awesome. This is really an outstanding feature.
You can get fantastic results in Carrara too, but you have to understand the shader system. In my opinion the best landscape renderer is Terragen, but this program lacks other features.
So Vue6 is certainly excellent in rendering landscapes and also supports Poser7
Carrara 5 Pro can also do fine landscapes and supports both Poser6 and 7(excluding dynamic hair and cloth). In Carrara 5 you can also model, morph, uv map and texture models.
Bryce 6 is an excellent application for a very low price. It does not have advanced features like Carrara or Vue, but if you look at beton's works here in the gallery, you can see what a real artist can do.
In the end it depends, what your goals are, what workflow you prefer and what amount of money you want to spend. Just use the trial versions, do see what fits best to your purpose.
Thread: Understanding Vista: what lies ahead | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
OK, some people like Vista and some don't. I don't see any need for Vista as long as XP fulfills my needs. The new Vista user interface looks cool, but it also costs a lot of performance. The lack of Open GL support is annoying and leads to a lot of troubles on some PC configurations with Poser7 and other application that use Open GL. Nvidia seems to have implemented Open GL in their graphic card drivers to compensate that.
If you have installed Vista on your PC and it works you're lucky. A lot of people have problems with Vista for various reasons. Often due to a hardware configuration that is only partially useful with Vista or instable drivers.
I installed XP64 Pro on my new PC and I'm very happy with it. I didn't find arguments for myself to upgrade to Vista. People who prefer Vista over XP may do this because of the better user interface. I didn't see other improvments yet, except higher memory and CPU consumption and lack of drivers. Microsoft has still a lot to do to make Vista really superior to XP. On the other hand, Microsoft needed SR2 to make XP superior to Win2k.
So let's wait one or two years...
Thread: Bryce vs Carrara | Forum: Carrara
Terragen landscapes are fantastic! Do you only export the mesh, or can you also export the shaders? What format do you use? Seems to be a very interesting option.

Anton, you really put a great amount of work into that. Just let us know how we can support you for your efforts. Is there a certain strategy for Apollo?
Thread: VISTA and POSER is a NO DEAL ...... | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Really love my XP Professional x64. Poser 6, Carrara 5 Pro, Cinema 4D and other programs run very smooth. Also no problems with Wacom tablets. I'm only missing a DVD-RAM packet driver and a driver for the printer port on my DSL router (NETGEAR).
Plan to keep myself away from Vista as long as possible.
By the way: the missing OpenGL support with Vista could be responsible for some trouble...

Thread: Poser 7/Carrara 5 Pro | Forum: Carrara
Well, it's not only about features, but it's about majority.
Daz is aware that a lot of Poser content is made that is not optimized for D|S. I'm sure more people use Poser than D|S. There are a lot of important Phyton scripts that only work with Poser (. So the combination D|S and Carrara will not work for some people.
Carrara is can handle plugins. So analyze dynamic hair and clothing in Poser files and translate them into appropriate new Carrara features. That's the way to go. I know it will take some effort, but Daz wants to add dynamic cloth anyway and at least a fur plugin for Carrara exists already.

Thread: How many still use Poser 6 -- Everyone at Poser 7 yet? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Still use Poser 6, although I have Poser 7. I often use Carrara import and I hadn't time enough to test if this works fine with P7. Maybe when I upgrade to my new PC...
Thread: pubic hair for V4 is missing!? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
You may find a quite realistic smart prop in another world for V2, which should also fit to V4 after some adjustment.
Thread: Poser 7 ? I have ordered mine but got no download | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Strange thing is that I ordered today and everything seems to be fine, but I got no confirmation mail, although they said on the page that they will send it. I see the purchase in my account though. Simply Strange!
