Carrara and Unity/UnReal play nice together.

To be clear, UnReal and Unity are fantastic game authoring and compiling software. But, you can't create content in the programs themselves.

I've created assets for games, and even a few tutorials about integrating Carrara and Poser into Unity. Unity is also something we use extensively in my current engagement.

There is a lot of parity between Unity and UnReal, but most of my exposure is to Unity. It is a blast to create assets in Carrara (or any CG program) and bring them into an interactive environment to play. BTW, there is a HUGE market for content via the Unity store - if anybody is interested in having a hobby-job.

As an official art mercenary, I don't have a favorite software, but use whatever gets the job done, including Carrara. For all the neg-speak, even after all these years, Carrara is pretty solid. I use a bunch of 'current' software. The things Carrara doesn't have that newer software does, are the kind of things 99% of users wouldn't ever use anyway. Heck most Carrara users don't use 80% of Carrara's abilities, in my jaded opinion.

Just saying...

Oh, hi everybody.
