They posted some news on the update. Thought I would share.

Pretty impressive list. I'm a bit puzzled by all the negative reactions though. Strange bunch. That forum is like driving cross country in a station wagon loaded with cranky kids.

Wow, that IS an impressive update. This program is certainly fun to work with. Can't wait for Mark's tuts to go live on VTC so I can figure out all the tricks.
Cheers

They definitely have their own opinions. I really cant wait for this release. This is what I have been waiting on to upgrade.

With all those "hair fixes" and whatever, they didn't fix an important feature of the bones system IMHO: the "restore element", just like in Poser. Carrara 3 system has it, I don't know why they change it. Now you must select the MESH to restore the BONES!!! It's stupid! Sometimes you need restore a hand, an eye or any other part of the figure, and you miss some difficult pose restoring all the skeleton. Maybe in Carrara 7...

In the previous updates, not all the actual fixes were listed. not even some quite major ones.
Keep your fingers crossed and wait for the actual update.

Man, that is so on target. I just don't get it sometimes. I can tell you 6.1 is a joy - especially the hair. ;-)

Looking forward to seeing what you can do with the hair. Any VTC tuts planned for these new features? Since I'm thinking of tuts, have you ever considered tuts on the various 3rd party plugins available? I recently purchased most of the DCG and Inagoni plugs but the docs are seriously lacking (understatement) for beginners.

Actually, the tutorials cover the new features. ;-)
I'm going to be doing some Carrara Dark Arts tutorials about the some of the features of the plug-ins, very, very soon. It's been the most requested area so far.

Now that I've got 6.1 humming along I'm really looking forward to your new VTC tuts Mark. I even check daily to see if they are live yet. I see that they are in the cue though...I hope that's a good sign.
Cheers

That's what I wanted to hear, Mark. Looking forward to it!
