Thread: Carrar 3 | Forum: Carrara

brainmuffin ( ) posted Thu, 22 April 2004 at 5:14 PM

The Vue plugin, Mover 4, didn't originally support dynamic cloth or hair when it was released, but they released a free update recently (Mover 5) that allows the import of both, so I would say that it'll probably be soon.

I already got more than I wanted out of this thread anyway. I got oohs and aahs, I got new links to model blueprints, and I got to share tips on my favorite program, Carrara! The only thing that could make me happier is if somebody posted how to clone myself, so I could use Carrara while I'm asleep!

Thread: Bryce or Vue 4 | Forum: Bryce

brainmuffin ( ) posted Mon, 19 April 2004 at 9:50 PM

When faced with the choice myself, buy vue or bryce, I chose vue 4 because of the mover plugin. See, I use poser for animation, so being able to import animated figures into vue is a very big feature to me. I've worked with bryce, and I know that importing poser figures into bryce is no picnic either, and you can forget about animated figures... after getting used to the differences in the interfaces, I found that vue can do just about everything bryce can do, and where I couldn't make any sense at all out of the deep texture editor, I've found that vue's texture editor is very intuitive. (rather similar to the old Ray Dream Studio materials). Bottom line: Where bryce is definitely a unique software experience (due in part to Kai Krause's wonderful interface), and of course, bryce was there when there was nothing else (no vue, worldbuilder, mojoworld, etc) It would seem that it's at an evolutionary dead end. Vue on the other hand , seems to be just hitting it's stride, I've a good feeling that the next few revolutions are going to bring great things. And e-on appears to know that bryce is in limbo, they've say that vue will open a bryce scene with no problems or prep work. I haven't tried it myself, but if bryce truly is only $80.00, I'm sure I'll be trying it soon....

For me, the fact that I can import animated poser scenes into vue means there's no comparison. Also, creating your own materials is easier and more intuitive than in bryce.

Ahhh.... Now i don't feel so poor... I was actually thinking of doing a render of this model in stainless steel, with the "time machine" gear strapped on the back. Maybe a caption that reads "You should see what happens at 188 miles an hour..."

how do you think the diablo sells? While we're on the subject of mexican lamborghinis, I saw a lamborghini countach in the parking lot of my local wal-mart with the mexican flag airbrushed on the hood.... Don't look at me like that. you weren't there...

The first thing you need to do is divvy up the BP's into the separate orhtogonic views. I used photoshop. Make sure that they're all the same scale and lined up. I've overlaid them all here to show how I lined them up. Save each view separately. Then, (if you scroll up to the screenshot of the modeling room, you'll see what I mean,) on the right-side menu, under the Global Tab, you'll find the backdrop settings. there you can open each view's corresponding BP. (if you find that you can't see them, even after you've enabled them, you need to change the interactive renderer to Eovia Software or OpenGL. Then go to the Global tab in the properties tray. You can now load your images to the background of any of the conical views.) And Shonner, If you're going to stop using Rhino altogether, maybe you wanna sell me your license? I could use a discount on it. Seriously. You can EM me here on renderosity... . Anyway, I've found that once you find a modeler that suits you, stick with it and use it as often as possible. The more comfortable you are with it, the better modeler you'll be. And the better you are in one modeler, the more easily you'll adapt to others.

(my aforementioned Countach model, done in RDS 5) Thanks for the comments and critique everybody! I hate to sound like an old fart, (I'm only 30) but I've been using the RDS vertex modeler as my main modeler since before there even were NURBS! And the new features in carrara 3.0(new at least, compared to RDS 5) make it a breeze. (For instance, to extrude in RDS 5, you go to Selection:Extrude, then you have to tell it EXACTLY how far to extrude, even if you don't know. it would only extrude straight from the normal, and sometimes it wouldn't even do that right. + & - kept switching, etc.etc.etc....) I learned to live with all the quirks, most of which have now been ironed out, but I keep finding new ones for me to learn to live with. Early on, like most everyone, I'm sure, I used the spline modeler almost exclusively. But I soon found that as the complexity of a model increased, the difficulty level for me increased exponentially. I found that I could easily do everything that the spline modeler did in the vertex modeler, and more. (although I still use the spline modeler for spirals, and I haven't played around much with Carrara's spline modeler to see if there's anything new there..) The only modeler I've tried that I enjoy more than the vertex modeler is Animation:Master's spline patches, but I'm not happy with the render times in A:M. I suppose, if I can ever make enough to afford Rhino, I may buy it, but I'll have to try it out first. I want to play around more with Amapi 5, since it came free, but I can't seem to find adequate tutelage or time to experiment. I could probably rant on all night, but I'm starting to sound like Cranky Kong, (Back in my day, we only got three lives for a quarter, and we usually lost two of 'em before we could figure out what to do...) And every minute I type is another minute that I'm not working on my contest entry. ( I just gotta win Anything Grows, I just gotta...) Before I go, I want to say: A. If anyone needs help with the vertex modeler, I'm here, and 2, Yes, Mateo, I actually learned murcielago from Dora the Explorer of all places, but do you know why it's called that? 2a. For some reason, after Lamborghini was taken over (originally by Chrysler I believe) All the names of new cars are in spanish rather than italian (which is usually a difference of a letter or two..) The first spanish name? Diablo... 2b. There are two odd shaped flaps, or wings toward the rear of the car that open up. These are actually intake scoops, and the murcielago is the first lamborghini to have hideaway ones, but you can see them evolveing if you look at the countach and the diablo. Now, for Double Bonus points: Who knows what Countach means in italian?

I didn't actually MAKE the blueprints... I just cut them up into the individual views and imported them into the vertex modeler... It was rather easy to do it this way. An earlier attempt at modeling a countach in RDS, which didn't allow rotoscoping like this, took almost a month of hair pulling and teeth pulling, and it didn't look nearly this good. It was a learning experience though... If you want, you can find lots of blueprints at these sites: Site is in cyrillic, but lots of prints... http://3dcenter.ru/blueprints/ This is where I got the murcielago prints from, It's a site for Need For Speed Modders... http://www.jpracing.racerplanet.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=181 This guy's got the biggest collection I've found. Not just cars, planes, motorcylces, guns.... http://www.onnovanbraam.com/index.php?m=blueprints&g=cars This guy's looking to sell prints, everything's got a banner over the middle. But if you can't find it anyplace else, it might be here... http://www.blueprint69.com/ This one's really fun. I found it while googling "blueprints". Brings back fond memories of my boyhood in the eighties... http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/87/defiant/ (one of these days, I'm going to make one of the G.I. Joe models when I've got the time...) Anyway, now that I've given away all my sources.... Have fun deciding which to make first....

oh, and if you're wondering, I modeled it from blueprints I found on the net, and I used the vertex modeler. No smoothing, and I tried to balance the polycount between beauty and performance.
