Well for one you must be PC based For mac Carrara is a complete and udder disaster. And DAZ not only admits this they PUBLISHED the fact that THEY HAVE NO INTETIONS on ever addressing those issues!

But one has to admire their cut throat honesty and finger in thier customer asses attitude. I mean WOW!

DAZ deserves nothin but white hot hate and loathing from its MAC users.

I use to be Carraras number one fan. Now I do everything i can to steer anyone and everyone  hell away from anything DAZ! IN SPADES!

Maybe when DAZ is looking at going out of business they will address these issues... BUT I doubt it.

Even thier most virolant supporters and apaliguistes are now admitting they were fooled and leaving the DAZ ship.

FIANLY!

THANK GAWD

Carrara for mac is LESS than useless. a complete and total train wreck of a program.

I am saving my beans for C4D and will NEVER look back!

DAZ COCKBITES

But one has to admit the render engine in C4D is stunning. I think better than MAYA.

I think I will giver blender a try! I have it loaded on my olderr g5 power mac. Time to put it on this macpro.

IS there any GALLERIES I couel go see?

Rich

HEx is light years ahead of Carrara as a modeler... Light years and its hasnt been upgrade for half a decade I think.

Plus if you have used Carrara you will feel right at home with Hexagons Bugs Crashes Freezes and idotic BS! 

Goos luck.

But real HEX is a terrific modeler BUT you will have to learn to side step its crazy BUGGY landmines.

ONE NEVER LEAVE ANY OBJECT in DYNAMIC MODE! Are you will loose everything next time you go to open it. 

Yes DAZ make soem fine Products they do JUST FINE

Titanic Your absolutley right. Yea the more I researsch Maya and Cinema 4 they REALY want to corn hole you. But you get what you pay for.

NOW where is that FAKE Community College Class Roster, registration paper and Shedual I have used to get all my othersoftware for nearly nothing. I hope I backed it up! 

There's more than one way to skin a Cat named Carrara.

AS far as the learning curve it also might be stepper for me than most I am over 50. But once to grpas the BASICS of the heory of 3D the rest is jusy learnign where the tools are or at least I hope.

I have noticed DAZ Carrara forum is really just some hangout hacks making excuses and apalguising for Carrara then throwing a fit for your Heretical and blasphemous statements. KILL THE HERETIC! If I wanted to be lied to I would call my exe wife or to a used car dealer. WHICH is very metaphoric for DAZ actually.

I finally had enough of all the freezes crashes bug insults and injury produced to myself and intelligence SO through up my hands says THATS it I am gunna get maya, or Cinema 4D rt15 or something that actually works....

THEN I got a look ate the MSRPS GLOP! Maybe carraras not so bad after all.

WTF! 6-9 grand are you killing me?

I must say the Cinema 4D Renders are stunning

Some one at DAZ set me straight The white hand under the spot render cured me! I would of never figured that out in a million years!

You hit that HAND and hit reset 2D! PERFECT

I am not complaining... Well yes I am complaining... But this bug is unacceptable. But what are ya gunna do.. I think DAZ was under pressure from it clients to release C8 and they should of waited. I do have to say though....I was skepical about he render improvements THE  200% Speed increase was hard to believe in the advertizments.. While I doubt 200% but it is sped up a lot!, and that is a huge plus with me!

I hope to enjoy the normal maps when the oppertunity presents it self as well

I have Carrara 8 pro 8.0.1.45. Is that the newest version?
