I bought Carrara 8 quite a while back (probably when it was new), to install on a Mac (I do also have a Windows PC - I think I was trying to split the workload). I never got to use Carrara 8, for some reason. I used to use versions 5 & 6 quite a bit on Windows PCs, now deceased.
Well, I thought that, having paid for it, I ought to give it a try, but it was hopeless. I loaded a V4 figure and all I could see were her feet. The upwards/downwards movement didn't work at all, so it was a pretty expensive way of rendering feet. I acquired DAZ Studio recently, for free, and pretty quickly found out that that is a turkey on an Apple computer, too. The difference is that I paid real money for Carrara.
Is anybody using Carrara 8 successfully on a Mac? I'm on Carrara 8.0.1.45 64 bit. I upgrading a useful idea, or will it still be a car-crash?

Carrara works fine on my system - Mac. I believe that there is a patch for the version you have. Check your account at DAZ.

What OS are you running out of curiosity? I have installs of 10.5.8, 10.6 (on one Mac Pro) and 10.7.3 on my newer Mac Pro - reason I ask, is I'm thinking of installing it on the Lion system and wonder if there are any issues I should know about.
I do run C8 on 10.5 on my older Mac Pro just fine. (Also run DS 3A and 4Pro on both boxes without a problem)

Running 10.6x here.
Had a couple of projects that required a software that doesn't run on 10.7 but now they're done and I'm just waiting for a lull in the storm to deal withi issues that always crop up during an upgrade.

Running carrara 8.1.1.12 in 64 bit version on an imac running 10.6.8. Also running latest greatest version of poser 2012 and Daz Studio. No problems no crashes. Am very affraid of moving up to 10.7 however.
