Hiya mantagruelle

i am working on video tutorials. mucho trabajo

You will need the Genesis 3 starter essentials for male and female.

It is currently free with Daz Studio 4.9.

That would be awesome, can't wait for that!!

Jamy, the main thing is making clothing and hair Carrara friendly as well as tweaking shaders, most Carrara users are used to the latter, there are a lot of missing maps.

For the clothing and hair you need DAZ studio,

All you need to do in most cases is load the clothes in DAZ studio by clicking them , some have a preset that loads a whole outfit.

No figure is needed in the scene in fact best not as if not Johnathon or Janet could crash Carrara.

then select each garment and go to edit/figure/rigging convert triax/general weight to blended weight

then under file save as scene subset

you can select your figure in carrara and load that scene subset from your library or by file and it will fit and apply morphs for each garment and hair in turn.

Misty, Just wanted to let you know that Janette and Johnathon are gone from my wishlist and are now mine. Thank you, thank you... I keep mumbling while stumbling off to bed.

Ty

i hope you enjoy them

Nice to see the slo-mo action video, thank you! I also noted your request for the clothing conversion script in the next video... great idea. Any bites yet? Silene

not yet, its a matter of finding someone with scripting knowledge that uses Carrara and wants to use Genesis 3.

would not need to be DAZ script or Carrara more of a batch notepad hack on the duf files,

Someone like Dimension 3D prob could do it but AFAIK they have no interest in Carrara.

MJCasual might even who knows? Or maybe Fenric?

just putting it out there as a suggestion hoping someone can as I am sure all of us would buy it if put on the marketplace here.

a quick look in notepad at an uncompressed file reveals "binding_mode" : "Blended", instead of "binding_mode" : "General", is the crucial line needed, the word dual Quart is still actually present however most duf files are compressed so unsure how one can do this unless one batch unzips them with 7zip maybe first Find and replace on an unaltered scene subset should have worked but did not so it gets more puzzling

theres an 18 percents coupie out

Awesome! It's on my wishlist. I made a set of expressions which use the face bones of the G3. All the face rig works in Carrara?

i'm not a 100% sure on tongue poses, didnt have any packaged tongue poses to test. tongue parts are poseable, works with carrara rotation wireframe

the rest of the face rig works.

really hopin someone would package up some nla clips

Great! Thanks!

Fantastic product, just bought it but I keep getting this error when I try to use it: "Warning: file /data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Male/Genesis3Male.dsf could not be found Warning: file /data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Male/Genesis3Male.dsf could not be found Error: node /data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%203/Male/Genesis3Male.dsf#Genesis3Male not found"

Genesis 3 works fine in DAZ studio. Do I need to move some files?

Any tips?

I re-installed Genesis 3 starter essentials for male and female and everything works great. Now the fun can begin :)

G3 ears and pecs/breasts are pose-able

wonder how would look animated with oscillate tweener

Great product, and very easy to use.

This is my first experiment with using a Genesis 3 figure in Carrara 8.5 Pro using "CarrarActors, Janette and Johnathon for Genesis 3 in Carrara 8.5". It uses the "Darius 7" morphs and textures, "Classic Trenchcoat for Genesis 3 Male(s)" and "Diesel Hair for Genesis 3 Male(s) & Female(s)". I then applied a Genesis 3 aniblock that I converted to a NLA clip.

It is rendered at 1920x1080 @ 30fps and averaged 15 sec per frame to render.

he's having a good stretch.

with all his mouth rigging could give a big yawn

Thank you MistyLaraPrincess, With all that mouth rigging it works great with Mimic Pro for Carrara.

I tried a quick test with Mimic Pro for Carrara and a "Toon Generations 2 Female for Genesis 3" figure rendered with "LuxusCore Carrara"

cute poet

Ty for sharing

Thank you MistyLaraPrincess, I am loving your product. I had to try an experiment with Mimic Pro for Carrara, Mr. Bear and Son for Genesis 3 Male(s) and Carrara hair. It's something that I could never have done in DAZ Studio :)

beary fun

There's 16 of us now, G3 in Carrara

organizing my bandicam schedule for the weekend. (they online activation only, i have to record in 10 minute segments )

without specific things to focus on, i'll putz around trying out g3 outfits and hairs. playing with zolly doom, camera panning.

didn't understand how tricky camera panning techniques are, til i became serious about my movie project. 72 hours to render a camera pan of the mystic gorge,

but that's what practice if for!

knitting mittens

started working on a couple outfits, will be setup for Janette and Johnathon, - no converting needed

bronie outfits?

Coupie out

the next CarrarActor i'se workin on. almost finished.

They strolling the Venice set

did everyone make their own shaders for Jeanne and Eddie?

was thinking of mebbe adding helper shader for Jeanne and Ed (the default G3M/F skins) to the d/l files.

I made a basic shader from the default G3F and G3M maps. I also picked up a Forbidden Whispers merchant skin resource for G3M, but I have not constructed a global shader preset from it yet.

With sufficient modification, I believe that I am allowed to offer a Carrara G3M skin shader based on ForbiddenWhispers resource, but I will check with the artist. Not sure how Ringo was able to offer Carrara shaders for Daz characters that relied on their maps. Will inquire.

nice resources from FW.

have this nice looking mr in my w/l, Genesis 3 - Master Beard Resource

The custom morph process I outlined for G2 should also work for your G3 Carrara folks. Has anyone tried?

Got started on a shader preset for G3F in Carrara. Blending maps from Eva 7 with some custom organic skin shaders. Suggestions welcome.

i made 2nd skin templates, using old wings3d 99.5, it has the color faces option, think they took it away in later versions.

don't want to bake it into the skin though, surely the rara shader tree can handle it as a layer?

is everyone making out okay saving character uvs presets - V7 M7 etc?

Yup! Works well

I must admit I've been putting off installing "Janette and Johnathon". I've a question before I do... I have a folder called "3rd Party content" where I keep everything away from where your documention says to install to. Thought I'd better as if it's ok to install to the other folder?

Have a coloured pencil... color me puzzled.

if your genesis 3 (male and female) starter essentials are in the 3rd party folder, should be okay.

the carrara folders can go in any "shader" preset folder

video tut covers how to link daz content folders in carrara

No... starter essentials in main DS Libraray... so will install there. Whew... that's what had me worried... didn't want to create problems for myself.

Thanks MistyLP

lookin forward to seeing your renders

Forgot to ask... Did I miss something... please let me know more about Jeanne and Eddie. Probably mentioned earlier... if so I'll just go back page or so and find out.

jeanne and eddie are the skin textures that come with the genesis 3 starter essentials.

their ds shader presets are aoa shaders, aoa shaders are dark in carrara.

i think most of us are loading the maps manually in carrara, and then saving it to carrara's browser tray.

i like to use the carrara shader shown in 'holly wet circuit's specular hightlights video tut. originally found it on carraracafe site. good stuff there!!!

looks like they spiffed up the cafe.

i cant find the holly video tutt naos

Holly Rocks! Perhaps I'll take a look for later also. Right now fingers is twitching... haven't modeled anything in a few days... and need to create something for the current Carrara Challenge.

Do 3DL textures for skin also use AoA? Just bought a G3F Char, uses 3DL, from Digital Creations.

Also I hasa lot of skin shaders bought for Carrara only.

Hmmmm. AoA = AgeOfArmor... hehee

kewl!

was some nice sale yesterday. i grabbed Gia 7 and Arabella 7.

is it a deal breaker?

the anatomical pro bits?

working on a preset for Michael 7's willie. it has the same uvs mess issue all the geografts have. haven't given up on making a preset for it yet, but it does seem futile right naos.
