Are they actively making plug-ins anymore?  Back in the day they were the hottest company out there for Carrara.

http://digitalcarversguild.com . All the plug-ins are up to date. I think several new ones have been added in the last couple years.

The only thing I noticed that is really new is that they expanded into plug-ins for Lightwave.

"They" (DCG) is just Eric --a one man band. And. like all the plugin makers, it's only a sideline.
We are lucky because of this because they (our 4 main ones) are personally interested and take  great efforts in answering our questions around the forums.

Jeremy (Sparrowhawke) has got new plugins on the go and I am sure the others would create various new  plugins----if significant demand was created.

Every time I use shader ops (from DCG), I think: "I am sooooo glad I have this." I would like for a few of its features to be standard in Carrara.

Shader Ops is great, as are all the DCG plugs that I've tried and purchased. I couldn't do without EnhanceC. Designing new shaders just wouldn't be the same, or as much fun.

I remember in the past DCG used to sell some of their plug-ins in packages.  Now it appears they are only sold individually.

NO!

Contact Eric at DCG directly.

InfoCentral,

I'm still active, but admittedly not as active as in the past. There are a few new things under development, but most of what I've been working on lately have been updates to existing plug-ins.

Some of it is just a victim of my success kind of thing. The more plug-ins I release, the more plug-ins I support, the less time I have for new development. I still get some new development done, but most of the time I can devote to it now is taken up answering emails or forum questions, building sample scenes for "how do I do..." kinds of questions, etc.

Oh, and about the bundle question. If you click through to the store there are several bundles available near the top of the page. If you're looking for something you don't see and you're going to buy 4 or more plug-ins, send me an email offline and I can usually work up a deal for you.

Thanks!

I was confused because you have to click on "buy it" for a given product before you can see the bundles.  It might help to put a link or message on the product page(s) to indicate that bundles are available.

I have to agree there.

Thanks for the feedback.

It still is the hottest.

I've seen some of the work accomplish using their plug-ins and I'm impressed.
