i'se goin out exploring snap reference photos. old kodak 7k pixels park, animal petting zoo.

...Today? Working with Antonia by ODF(?). Great character for Carrara!!

edit Workin on a couple of beers too. That burger looks good!

I'm working on a golf shirt for G8M

The current game level/cut scene contest here, back to the Age of Sail ... ⚓

Come to think of it, I modeled and rigged an old man and a boy for a fake game called "Get off My Lawn!" They are based on Dennis and his neighbor Mr. Wilson. Rendered some fake screengrabs. Maybe I should try my hand at animating the figures for the contest. Do the contest evaluators ever say anything more severe than "Hell no!"?

Today I am going to work on a project for the Carrara Monthly Challenge over at that other forum. Well, after I have an appointment.

diomede we never say "h*ll No!" look forward to seeing you & Steve as a submission!

Thanks, Ashleyvs. Always appreciate encouragement.
Today, I think I am going to revise the rigging of some of my custom figures.

Some very experienced software developer incorrectly stated that a Carrara rigged figure cannot have two actions at the same time. Turns out that a Carrara-rigged figure can have dozens of NLA tracks applied simultaneously, maybe even hundreds, but must pay attention to order of preference if actions for the same joint or morph are stacked. Hey, we are all wrong sometimes. But then I found out that this person does not have Carrara installed and does not currently use Carrara (if the user's posts are to b believed). Pretty rude and obnoxious to frequent a forum for software not installed and not used, and then knowingly make false assertions. Wasted a lot of my time.

Just fiddling around in Carrara

also doing a sorta Corgi morph on the HWBig dog for fun

kittehs!

Excellent pets, Dave. Today I am going to watch a tutorial for substance painter and substance designer. Then I will try to model a simple object and render it in Carrara.

officially working on fantasy tavern for officially workin on scifi flying fortress. with a 'private' chamber for a lusty space pirate captain

made all quad bottom starter for bottles and drink wear

setting specular for drow dark skin tricky

I am working on 2 articles: Daz Studio as Carrara replacement, and Blender as Carrara replacement. Stay tuned.

I am working on the renderosity animation challenge. Originally, I wasn't going to because Dr. Bernie told us that Carrara couldn't have a figure do two things at once. He even had a thread with a title saying Carrara could not have M4 walk and chew gum. Turns out Carrara can have dozens of simultaneous NLA tracks applied to the same figure. But, Dr. Bernie was just spreading misinformation. It really wasted a lot of my time. Oh, he often backtracks and amends his statement, but that doesn't restore my lost time.

Oh shush. Do you even know what 'Walking and chewing gum' means? It means someone has difficulties performing basic everyday tasks.

Diomède, I know you like that, I'm working on a second "Catastrophes" sequence (no good sound nor real postwork yet...)

Yup. The "Ignore" button is your friend.

Great job, Dudu! Fluidos has really ben an amazing addition.

just trying to stay awake at dayjob today

started proj to import michael 4 to duf and triax wm saving him to his individual characters i want to use

would be more ideal to be able to remove polys under clothes without messing up the morphs. if the vert order doesnt change ... dunno

sorry if sounds ungrateful, but sick of being told about genx xfer m4 to genesis

I don't understand most of that, but it sounds like my sticking with Gen4 characters in Carrara is a good thing.

I will be modeling some props for my entry in the Carrara challenge at that other forum. Must use one of the DCG plugins that Eric generously made free and open source. Theme is Frontier.

Ended up working mostly on terrain with the intent of using the plugin that creates shore lines where water meets terrain. Great concept.

Completed the terrain, but instead converted it so it could be used with the Fluidos plugin. To use a terrain with Fluidos, it must be an enclosed object, not just a single facing sheet. I used the zero edge filter with a setting of 80 to get the narrowest and steepest edges, converted to a vertex object, and then enclosed the bottom with the fill command. I then tessalated the bottom. Could just select the top and add thickness, but that increases poly count compared to selecting and filling the bottom.

yep, I been doin' some Carrara modelling for same challenge.. a helicopter and a sledge

and also been modelling some Sherlock props... as a hobbiest I find Carrara my goto software for having fun at modelling and rendering :-)

Carrara is such fun to use and modelling can be done quickly as you can manage... I did all these models here and above in well less than week and I don't know what I'm doing!

plus much more..........

Very nice. Maybe I should take a break from short animations and try modelling. Some day.

we alll live in da yellow submarine, lol, song stuck in my head now. looks fantastik!!

i was in hospital last 9 days, can barely remember what i was doing. think was the tavern. skooma botlle, oh yes. was making label separate piece on the bottle.

a kitteh made using Philemo's cutout plugin, vertex room tweaking, Zbrush remeshing

cant get over the disappointment of the new g8m minotaur cryyyyy

yeah it's total bull, the geografts won't work well in Carrara anyway so no loss

bull, lol

Today...using CG to create "plans" for a wooden storage cabinet.

One thing I find with making furniture is that some tools are in imperial, but I also work in metric, so way to easy to convert things wrong. Which is where C5 comes in, it allows me to create a part in inches then change the measurement to CM.

Also by being able to visualise things before getting hands on, I can see straight away that things are the right size, or that it will fit. Thus - hopefully -less wasted wood.

In theory having accurate plans should allow the use of accurate tools, such as digital calipers. I've already made a router jig/sled (using shelf uprights) with a value of 90.002, aka 1/4 of 1 mm out on the vertical. But one day I'd like to reach the bronze standard of many colleges/contests. Where every joint can have a maximum variance of 1/16th of a inch (1.5mm).

brings back memories of Dr Geep's magic box

Been out of circulation for a couple of years dealin with real world stuff and a lost muse, and I'm really bad out of practice. When I picked up the loose ends to get started again, I re-discovered a folder with about 30 unfinished images. So I decided to finish most of them as a kinda warm jump start LOL! But I may not be able to finish them all: I got a couple of new ideas just from working, plus a couple more from a couple of Rendo friends. Good times again!

Poser University!!!! Just looked through it yesterday for the first time in years. Lots of good info!

is cheering to find a bit of life coming back to the carrara

thinking a beach walk with shops, like Santa Barbara

Yes, I still use Hex and Carrara! I just built a new machine with an I7 12 core chipset and GTX 1080 video card and 32 gigs of ddr 4000 ram. Rendering is fast and easy. I'm toying with some Christmas stuff, the Erzgebirge is animated but I'll just upload a still shot.

12 CORES???!! (green with Cores envy UNLEASH THE CORES POWER,

I have been playing with Mandelbulber 3D rendering 360 backgrounds to use in Carrara as well as exporting Mandelbulbs

awww my Facebook VR doesn't embed

i is programming an excel spreadsheet, working out year to date hours formulae the ifs function isnt working, cant imagine why, having to nest if statements, is a pita doh

I’ve been working on models of pipes and related plumbing fixtures. Uvmapping has been a challenge.

da uv unwrapping unwraps an egg without distorting >.<

whaz new putty tatt mow meooww meoww

mebbe if we showed a vendor like Rhiannon how good her creations look in carrara, they might do stuff for carraara. or exnem

worth a try.

that flowy stuff wendy been rendering. looks brilliant in carrara

started with a cube and finished up with this in a day

i wish cubes would speak to me like that. tho, i can uvmap one
