Looking under my account I can see every version of Carrara I have bought, yet no rendernode for any of them, just seems to be 2 versions of the main program, they are even the same size

    Do you have Po versions of Carrara? They only come in Pro.

    I think I've hit my bandwidth limit on my satellite internet, so I can't download and check, but is it possible the node is bundled in the installer for C8.1? If not, I would contact DAZ to find out how to get it.

    Think I may have to, as it it installs for me is the main program :/

    For what it's worth, my C7.2 Render Node doesn't show up in my product library either. I'm on a Mac, so I would DL the zip file and not the .exe file. I was hoping that it was bundled in the zip, but as I said, I can't DL that large of a file.

    I'm not effected at the moment as I DLed and installed my nodes when I purchased my version of Carrara w-a-a-a-y-y-y back. Still, if I had a hard drive crash and needed to get them, I would want them available.

    I have 8.5 and the rende rnode for that, but have been making some shaders and was having issues with it using fast mini map as the default option, which isn't in earlier carrara versions, so I went and got 8.1, didn't need the node until I went to do some high quality promo images and 8.1 told me that the 8.5 render node was incompatible, went to go get 8.1 render node, and its not there :/

    Guess it will have to wait till Monday as no one will be at daz

    I think you can change the fast mipmap per shader. I don't know if it can be done in the system preferences, such as setting the default tweener. Would be nice. I think if it you set the shaders to sample or something like that, then they can be backwards compatible. At least from what I've read. No practical experience as I'm using C7.2 Pro.
