My Predictions for Carrara 4 -New look interface more inline with Amapi Pro The reason is that the current look is quite old and although Carrara is a pro app is is often dissmissed by people due to looking a bit childish. -Rendering of Nurbs surfaces -Improved UV mapper (please) -Greatly improved SDS toolset in the vertex modeler My Wants for Carrara 4 -More control over specular highlights. The current model is quite basic and limited. A microfacet based specular shader would be great. -More control over texture rotation ie rotation of a texture uv space. -Ability to perform operations of groups of objects like apply shaders, smoothing. -Ability to rotate the GI Skydome -Better support for area lights. Things get messy unless the best render settings are used. -More control over radiosity settings like the number of bounces and finer controls over light quality. -More accessible SDK -Tabbed interface. Having indows on top of each other can get messy. -Easier assignment of bones influence
