The information for the September Carrara challenge has been posted in the Carrara Forum (http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthread/45561/) I thought I’d better post information about the challenge here for those who have Carrara, but don’t frequent the DAZ 3D Carrara forum very often

If you’re new to Carrara, have Cararra and haven’t really used it, or maybe your planning on picking up Carrara on the 50% off sale that started today, this is the perfect challenge for you. The main focus of the challenge is to go back to the basics, and create an image with the best lighting and complimentary materials/shaders to get the best 3D render you can.

The real bonus for the new user with this challenge is that Infinite Skills Inc. is one of our sponsors. They are the publishers of the outstanding Carrara training videos by PhilW. This Is an excellent opportunity for you to learn more about shaders, lighting, and rendering by participating in the challenge. Plus if you place in the challenge you will be able to get some fantastic Carrara training materials (the participant that gets first place will receive all three videos, including the training video that was just released here today, Carrara - Realism Rendering Training Video.

Please join the challenge and “Just say NO to flat 3D”
