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?
