What are we working on for the 8.5 release?
- better exchange of files with DAZ Studio 4 via a new file format to support genesis and other figures etc.
- we will have a separate CMS system for those who don’t use DAZ Studio 4. This will include the genesis default content in the system. So if you don’t have DAZ Studio 4, you can still have access to Genesis and the smart content.
- We are working on the Carrara system to read multiple presets; (Poses, materials, light, camera etc.)
- We know that not all data from Carrara will be able to be pushed to DAZ Studio, but we should have a much better way of saving information to exchange data. An example is the Howie Farks scenes won’t pass fully to DAZ Studio 4, but most figures and basic scenes will be transferable both ways.
- We are also working on making the list of morphs be similar with how they are displayed in DAZ Studio 4. We want the parameters tabs to look almost the same.
These are the main features we are working on. We anticipate that this will be finished 1st quarter of 2012. It will as we’ve stated be 8.5 and will require a small upgrade fee (amount TBD).

Hello!
Frederic Rible A.K.A F1oat revealed extended feature set of the new genesis of Carrara particles system called PyCloid!
PyCloid now will be capable of growing tubular geometries that will be very usable to animate growing vines, or growing any kind of abstract or systematical tubular geometry.
In addition PyCloid now will be capable of particle collision with other objects! Could this lead to one step closer to Fluids in Carrara?
