It starts with a large city sweep. It will be the most spectacular scene yet. Rivaling episode 8.

I’ve been working on the city cars. They are mainly ordinary cars (with a few dents here and there to simulate increased damage cuase by living in a big city), with the ability to fly. However most level 3 citizens have to stick to the motorways.

This image has some post in it. Still a WIP (I can’t get glow to work properly - I’d like to take my glow output from carrara and apply it to after effects. Can anyone help? I can only do it with the built in effects - not my GLOW pass).

Anyway after 3 days modelling here is the state of play. (nb the lorries will be duplicated to outnumber the private vehicles).

NB the Level 2 cars are all a bit flash, with personalized show off number plates and shiny cars. Not a scratch on those.

looks wonderful - sorry can't help with question :( maybe Nassos?

Thanks man. I'm getting help over on the Team-Dystopia board. I'll post more images in due course.

Did you get your AE question answered? Rendering Carrara (after setting a Mulipass option to incluce glow) to a sequence and then importing the sequence into AE should do the trick. Just choose the Glow layer instead of "composit" and then you'll have the info to work with. 

I could output ok, I just couldn't get AE to play ball. But now I can. Still not quite happy with the effect though (vs chucking in bulb lights everywhere in Carrara).

However ep 9 features hundreds of flying cars so the AE option is the only practical one lest my render times grind to a halt.

Here is where I am at.. (see pic above)

looks much better!
