Carrara not in DAZ Central? Just stick with DIM?

in Carrara Discussion

Hello. Hope everyone is well during all this crazy history we're living through.

My question is pretty much what's in the subject.

I installed the new DAZ Central and noticed the only apps listed are DAZ Studio and Hexagon. Couldn't find a trace of Carrara anywhere. 

Am I missing something, or should I just stick with DIM to manage Carrara's installation, content, etc?

Thanks

    don't think any Carrara users are willing to try it

    I am not

    I agree with Wendy.

    Ahh.

    I did try it, and Carrara was nowhere to be seen. Not a fan of it, either, to be honest. "Streamlining" isn't always an improvement, IMO. Just going to stick with DIM. It does the job just fine. Though I notice even DIM now automatically pops up a pre-configured DAZ and Hexagon install window on loading. 

    They're really trying to push people in a certain direction, aren't they. Heh.

    I am wondering if it breaks smart content in Carrara or even just duf content but am unwilling to be the guinea pig to test it.

    Am waiting for someone braver to try.

    I do know our allocated Carrara forum mod has Carrara and some content even if just the starter essentials cheeky

    Misty has a free genesis 8 character couple at Rendo she can test with too

    I may have Carrara but I don't use Dim or Daz Central.  I install everything manually, being as mostly I use Bryce, with Poser as a plug in (old poser.  P8, normally)

    Same here.  I buy mostly Poser format content, put it in its own folder with added keywords, then link it through Carrara's browser.  Search via Windows Explorer/Ctrl-F, preview via P3DO (mostly great mocap previews).

    I saw mention of Carrara in the FAQ when I first saw DAZ Central... just FYI - Haven't tried it yet but I'm going to

    Installed it, not that interesting now in the early days of it, some web links here and there.

    It has the path to Carrara and Poser in the settings, looks like it is similar to DIM there at least.

    Carrara is still working, no killswitch yet.

    Have not checked if iy affects SmartContent.
