Easy to set up. They're just like raytraced soft shadows.

InfoCentral What side are you on? XSI or Carrara?

Like I said in the first message. I own Carrara. I know very little about XSI; just what I have been reading in the 3d magazines. The question was never Carrara vs. XSI, it was "is now the time to buy?"

Maybe GWeb's comment actually was a soft reflection on the past? The render is beautiful! I still haven't heard anything about actually receiving the software I ordered the day it was possible :-}

In the meantime Hoof, blurry reflections are possible in C3. All you do is add a 'blur' effect to your mirror object. You can control the ammount with the radius slider. It works very nicely.

i used a plugin from zmorphics for blurry refelection,together with carrara 2 and 3,now i can sell it.:)

The reflection looks nice indeed, but are blurred reflection really a pro feature? It is something you can find in several old "non pro" soft, don't it?

Yes, I'm kind of amazed this is clasified as a Pro only feature too. I mean, blurry reflections have been in VUE forever. As well as blurry transparencies, btw - beautifully implemented as well, if I may add. I think eovia should really have included this in the standard C4.

I agree. It's odd that they relegated this one feature to Pro. And it's implemented oddly, as an effect you apply to an object, rather than just a parameter within the texture. That's not a big deal, although I guess it does mean that if you have 30 objects with the blurry texture on them you have to apply the effect 30 times (or can you apply an effect to multiple objects now? I don't have C4 in front of me so I can't check). But the fact is, this was a big feature for me, and part of the reason I bit the bullet and went for Pro. Amapi was the main reason I went for it, though.
