I love the TY mesh. I use her for a lot of stuff because she can do both realistic rendering as well as anime. Plus, she's pretty cute for being a pixle girl. LOL!

The saphire hair is really cool too. It can do a lot of real nice morphs and as you know, that brings alot to both a render as well as an animation.

Regarding Carrara - If you've used D|S and you like it - jump on Carrara Pro 6.

I began using the DAZ products because I hit a wall when it came to character rigging in MAX. I could do it but I couldn't get it perfect and my 'actors' would get weird bends in their arm pits and such. It was really frustrating for me (as I am self taught) and felt like I had hit a plateau.

It was during that time when I was feeling down about my animation ability that I noticed I had D|S installed from forever ago when I had used Bryce 5. I loaded up D|S and was floored from the first second I loaded up a human mesh. Since that moment I've been a DAZaholic and I've not stopped (although I can any time I want...yah...that's it... I can stop...really... I can...)

I'm 80% done with a BSG (tos era) animated fan film and when it's finished I'm going to share the LWO & MAX to Carrara/D|S covnersions I've done. I've converted everything from the Galactica and Vipers to clothing and even built a nice 'fake' Galactica bridge.

Btw- It's nice to know I'm not the only DAZ junkie around here.

One of the things that I think make this website a real strong resource is that we have an solid group of people who use Max, LWO, TS, Poser and DAZ products.

Here's a couple of images I made with TY.
One is the logo for my microbrewery (and my avatar) and the other is just me being a silly bastard.
