What I really like about the caligari forum is that the president and other staff members are constantly in touch with the community and even participate in the members activities. They also keep everyone informed of their updates and what is to come. This was not the case before but they did themselves a favor and they started meeting the needs of the users.

What Daz needs to do is the same, yes there has been postings on Daz site about all this but as far as feedback from the company not much that is satisfying.
Have you missed the 3 or so chat sessions that Daz has had? With questions and answers sessions? Chat log summary can be found here: http://www.polyloop.net/2006/08/24/s...s-of-interest/

They offered a lot of info about what they planned to do. And it should be expected that a company will remain a bit quiet about the details. If Daz announced that they would be including a High end NURBS modeling tool and new fluid dynamics in Carrara 6. Then mid-development cycle they discover a nasty bug linked to fluid dynamics that would require the delay of including NURBS modeling in this release, because a large portion of Carrara needed to be rebuilt. What are you the users going to say to that? Also, if E-frontier saw that Daz was developing a fluid dynamics simulation tool they would start one as well, thus removing a possible edge that Carrara could have over Shade and/or Poser. Its all very reasonable to me and I do understand your frustration.
