Re: DAZ Purchases Eovia  Good? Bad? Or Who Cares?
-----------------------------------
Oh, I am this subject. I had Carrara 5 pro before Daz bought it out; yes I am an Eoviaite  :wink: 
I'm also one of the; if not the, worst complainers about the way Daz has treated us Eoviaites, on the Daz forum. I dangle my toes over the line of the TOS there quite often. I wont complain too much about Daz here, that's what the Daz forum is for. None the less I often describe us Eoviaite as the adopted red headed step children of the Daz family. 
It's still undesided if Daz has Bitten off more then they can chew, but we will have a better idea when/if the updates for Carrara 5 and Hex 2 come out. Despite arguments and opinions to the contrary I'm still pessimistic about it. Personally I think Daz has streched them selves to thin.
I also don't think they are fully awair of what Carrara can do. As in Carrara 5 can replace Daz studio and Poser; well almost. The only time I use Poser 5 is to work around a few Carrara bugs. And Carrara 5 is a bit of an older program so lets say Poser 5 and Daz studio 1.3 .  :wink: I have been told C5 dosen't read JCM's so it can't use a figure quite as well; Johnny Carson's memiors???????? :dontknow: 
Some times I wonder if Daz even rembers Carrara and Hex. But it could just be they are being very close mouthed about it.
But then you have to wonder what would have become of Carrara and Hex if Daz hadn't of bought them. You have to wonder what sort of financial shape Eovia was in, and how much longer they may have been abale to keep afloat.
I just hope Daz didn't save Carrara and Hex from a quick death, just to let them die a slow one, forgotten in some back folder of a content supermart.
