Daz recently sent out an email regarding Carrara 7.  I've looked over what they wrote on their webpage:
http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=99387&trid=91917438&flatnum=1

but I can't see if it would be anything that would be useful for Vue users.  I'm always interested in
other software that can enhance what Vue or Poser can do.

Does anyone have any experience of feedback about Carrara and if it is a beneficial tool for those who use Vue and Poser?

What interests me the mos is the 3d Paint function:
"Carrara 7.0 includes a new 3D Paint Tool that enables textures to be selected, edited and "painted" directly onto an object. "

Any comments out there?
