Hey DAZ...Mimic for Carrara? - Polyloop

CnoEvil · 20th December 2005, 02:57

Just wondering. I mean, you have a Mimic plug in for Poser and you have one for Lightwave. I guess going through Poser to bring Mimic's capablities into Carrara is O.K. since Poser's masters have finally decided to work with Eovia and now we have P6 support, but how long before they decide to play hardball again? Maybe we go through all the uncertainty all over again with Poser 7.

BTW, I am not a Poser user yet. I'm still working on learning modeling and working with Carrara to get up to speed, but I know where I want to go with it and that's into character animation, so I've been keeping my eyes on the ball as far as best solutions go when it comes to using other character animation products with Eovia's tools. (For future reference) Some day soon I expect to be able to justify buying more software toys for character animation.

Actually, I'm kinda hoping that DAZ Studio will get up to speed and give folks an alternative and put a little pressure on the Poser cartel and their grip on the character niche that makes them feel like they can put the screws to anybody they perceive as competition. So waddaya say? How 'bout making a mess of really cool character animation plugins that work with DAZ Studio and plug in to Carrara? Dynamic cloth and hair...lipsync...savable/reusable/blendable poses and animation?;)

I have already made this suggestion as well as a walk editor like Poser has.

A Mimic plug in for Carrara would be very useful.
