< The Future of Carrara >

This is more for daz3d to answer than us, the users. But Daz involvement is encouraged.

Daz has come a long way. The main focus of daz3d is Daz Studio and its vast high quality content, for the generalist, the entertainment industry and the hobbyist alike.The Aqcuisition of Bryce, Hexagon and Carrara have rescued these three programs that were believed dead. We thank you, Daz, for that. It is only in that interest and spirit of Daz, to not only keep these programs alive in a hospital bed on dripfeed, but to make them walk again on their own. To make this happen, please pin this posting for an open community discourse to see where this could lead. There are surely developers who have the ambition and time to get these programs back out of the wheelchairs.

1. What involvement, if any,  does TGS and formerely eovia still have in regard with Daz-Carrara today?

2. Would you allow the community to file for Carrara to be given/purchased to make it OpenSource?

3. Is Carrara still under a TGS license? If, for how long or perpetual?

4. Would you consider to allow Carrara to be developed further under an (open) DAZ Community License?

5. Would you grant the developer community at daz3d.com access to further Carrara development, if they can prove that they have legally purchased Carrara (Carrara development under an extented eovia SDK License)?
