Hi all, 

Every single one of us has wanted to render liquid in Carrara at some time or another. Digital Carver's Guild is working on that ability now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDvrUXwGqCE

Great one, but Pycloid new version also support volume for particles... I just need sometime to try it.

Great News, can't wait to see this out!

I don't quite follow.

is this a situation where the actual fluid modeling and animation is done in blender and then that animation is transferred into C?

Is that really fluid modeling in C?

 DCG's solution is for importing sequenced obj files that have been exported from Blender. To  use this ability you would run the simulation in Blender, export the results to a folder and import them into carrara.   

This is how most programs also handle fluid from that fantastic program called RealFlow. 

You can use RealFlow also. Its export the OBJ sequence.

Great news!

OoOO keeping an eye on this

Hi folks,

DCG Importer is out. You can download the demo or check it out at

It will import sequenced OBJ versions of anything the built in Wavefront OBJ importer will do. By only keeping one frame in memory at a time, it lets Carrara handle large or long running animations.

Regards,

Thanks Eric!

Thank you for the news update, posted the news here: http://carraracafe.com/?p=2394

Any other examples/usages other than Blender and RealFlow?

One of the beta testers was using molecular animations exported from VMD.
