Carrara on Sale - Polyloop

Markku · 20th January 2007, 23:57

If DAZ puts out a sale on Carrara, could it mean that the next version is just behind the corner?

I wouldn't take this as a sign of C6 being very close. I think it's more of a decision to squeeze the last drops of blood from C5 while DAZ still can. Because few people will buy it at full price when they know C6 is romored to be so close behind. Plus the new interest keeps a little "buzz" going in the community, which helps word of mouth for C6 when it's announced.

They could be lowering the price in hopes to sell more copies. I hope something is in the works for version 6 soon.

I want to duplicate with symmetery ASAP.

You might try "Duplicate with Symmetry" as detailed in Carrara 5 Help p170/171.

Under the section--"Changing on Object's Symmetry!

davisssrh · 21st January 2007, 03:24

I've looked on the Daz website and i can't find it. Could someone post details of how I get this deal?

medeamajic · 21st January 2007, 03:47

You make me laugh bwtr. I will say thanks this time for the info and screen shot even though I know how to duplicate with symmetry already. What I ment to say is I want symmetrical modeling. Your intentions were on the mark but I made an error in my post. It happens.

Davisssrh this will take you there.

The Carrara5Pro is just too good a price --buy it before they change the price!

davisssrh · 21st January 2007, 12:44

"Carrara 5 – Download Version
Price: $249.00"

I assume this is because I'm not a Daz 3D member. Could someone check for any sign of an expiration date. I'd be willing to sign up as long as I knew I could get this deal.

bwtr · 21st January 2007, 14:17

I dont understand your message clearly. I see the price printed at (for5Pro) at $197.64, reduced from $549!

The DAZ members price is $138.35!!!

Being a member costs about $10 a month (or less) and there is enough just in the free stuff available new each month to make that good value. Then, you have the very low special members price on all pay for items.

OK , for me, a huge amount of DAZ stuff I find Yuk!, but there are some good bits of wheat amongst the chaff.

Markku · 21st January 2007, 17:22

davisssrh - Once you become a member you propably won't regret it. It is hassle free, they bite your bank account just little and as bwtr said there is some good stuff among lousy stuff. I recommend signing up just to get Carrara for that redicilous low prize.

I suspect we'll be seeing Carrara 6 before June. The last time they suddenly put one of their products on an awesome sale like this was with Bryce 5.5. Sure enough, it wasn't too long before they released Bryce 6, and sold upgrades to all those folks who bought 5.5! It's very clever marketing. I think a lot of software companies have realized that upgrades are their bread and butter, rather than the original sale of the product. I've been buying upgrades for Photoshop and Lightwave for eleven years. That adds up.
I believe that to be the reason that DAZ sold Hexagon so inexpensively at first, also.

Tunesy · 28th January 2007, 05:36

Hmm. Is the Carrara sale over? All I can find at daz is regular pricing.

Gordon_S · 28th January 2007, 06:22

Yes. The sale runs to February 2nd. Here's the link.

The special pricing is for DAZ Platinum Club members.

You will not see the special price until you join the PC Club.

I just joined the PC Club, and bought Carrara 5 Pro.(thanks to the help of a new friend).. what a fantastic deal!

Gordon_S · 29th January 2007, 20:09

Ah! I didn't realize that you couldn't even SEE the sale unless you're a member. Odds are that the upgrade price for C6, when it comes out, will be very reasonable for members, also.

Altered_Ego · 29th January 2007, 20:28

It can be somewhat confusing.

You can be a DAZ customer... and you can join the DAZ forums...

Then you can join the Platinum Club (PC Club) for a fee.

So that's potentially 3 different DAZ memberships.

The way the PC club works, you won't see the PC Club prices till you join.

Just a tip... you want to join first, then come back later to get any special sale prices.

That's because the system doesn't always update immediately.

Oh, before I forget, the sale ends on Februrary 2.

Also, you can save money by purchasing an annual membership, rather than going monthly. I use a ton of 3D content, so I've found it to be well worth the price. I also make my own content, at need, using Amapi. I couldn't begin to design ALL the content I use, though. I'd never get anything finished. :D

You have a point there. I'd thought of getting the Annual Membership, when I get a regular income.

In the meantime, a friend was gracious enough to help me get what I have.

Oh, another good investment for Poser users is Poserworld...

I gotta say DAZ seems to have a sale every week.

Some are just better than others.
