Bonestructure and Artwithin,

Thank you very much for your valuable input. 

At the moment I am having a bit of "learning curve overload" as I am learning to use Carrara 6, and adjusting to the Chief XI upgrade (my main job), and poking around in photoshop...

I am going to watch some of the tutorials for Photoshop.

When I first heard about the release of C6 I immediately registered my version of C5Pro that I'd bought from eovia.  But the details didn't appear on my account so I got in touch. Last contact from support was yesterday without any mention of C6 being available.

Today I logged on to the Daz/Carrara forums to learn that C6 is actually available for purchase and people had already downloaded to start using it.

From my browsing of the forum there are a number of issues...

First up is that there are quite a few people reporting problems using P7 derived files to import into C6Pro.  P6 and Daz Studio appear to be unaffected (in fact, there are murmurs that C6 may even be more integrated with Daz Studio.

Secondly, there was a suggestion that EF were not forthcoming with the SDK for integrating P7 files into C6Pro - this could explain the reason why there are problems.

If you use any of the new features of P7 then any import into C6Pro is doomed to failure.

There appears to be little coordination in the forum - so there are loads of problems and little feedback from Daz/developers on the likely causes.  All the support is coming from those that have downloaded and installed C6.  Meanwhile, there's been no announcement from DAZ on the release or, as the recent communication with support, internal knowledge within the company that it is actually available.

Hmmm!  Methinks that I may have to revert to Poser 6.

It is now 5:30am and everything is done downloading!  Time to install...It looks like there is a tutorial that came with my C6Pro, it will probably help answer alot of questions, once installed.

At first all I could see was C5 but I did a search in the search box at DAZ  for carrara 6 and then found and bought the 5 to 6 pro upgrade I needed. Will auto download late tonight if the DAZ servers are up to it. Saved me a few bucks to join platinum club first then bought the c6 upgrade.

I started downloading late this morning...now it is 8:30pm and it looks like 5.5 hours to go....I can't wait!  

I got ahead of myself while waiting today and installed the C6 content and the Render Node...They installed to the DAZ directory, do you think that will be a problem?  C6 actually installed to DAZ;Studio;Content

I saved the download in case I need to istall these after I recieve the C6Pro files...

Is there an order to install the Node, Content, and C6Pro?

Good Night

Eric
