Hello Carrara 3D Express users.
According to the blurb on the Daz site.

"Able to import content created for the pro"

Would be very interested if that is possible?

Z

Oh Yeah!!
Noviski, I love it!!

Is it a Carrara render?

Z

Hope you succeed NyGuy.
Thanks for the compliment Ikyoto.

Once I'd seen the tut on the daz site for making a handle moveable on the side of a box.
I thought - joints - robots - mech STUFF!!

I've done another test on a model of a Bond Bug that I modelled a while ago.
Door opens, wheels go round.
What more can you ask for?

Thanks again guys and looking forward to some Nice Renders!

Z

Great work Man

I have modelled organic in Carrara, and it is posable to go from the modelling through UV mapping, Domains, Rig, Skin, Pose, Enviroment, Lighting, (animation) Render all in Carrara.
But I have now been using Amapi a long time and when I get a flow on things can come together real quick.
It could be that I'm not that familiar with the tools available in Carrara.
I did one figure for instance, that took about 3weeks to model in Carrara, that I know I could have done in one with Amapi.
I always feel the modelling is running faster in Amapi as it is only a modeller with everything else being very basic.

Good luck with your latest projects

Mike

 I think it's available to all on the support daz studio updates thingy on the Daz site?

I'm not a PlatClub member or anything special to do with the Daz site.

Hi NyGuy

I think I'm using Version 2.3.3.25 beta.

Z

I've just realized I haven't mentioned on this thread that the Armour X is now available in the ***CarraraFreeStuff.

Thanks nyguy
I'll see how it goes when I'm closer to releasing him.
I do have a mate who's literally 300 yards up the road, who might host me on his server.
The offer is much appreciated and I may be knocking on your door (metaphorically that is)

Z

Hi Guys
Me again
Just to whet your appetite (if you havent spotted it before)
I do have an old freebee on the Carrara freestuff at Renderosity ( Jan 2007. Ultimate Spidey type thing)
With a Granny sucks eggs Read Me thing.
I think I've come a fair way since then.
You'll be able to judge for yourselves once I feel better about letting the Armour X loose.

Thanks Tom
It's been a great little spin.

Don't forget everyone
Check back here for updates to when he go's up on the FreeStuff

Thanks for the all your words. Good and Bad.
I am Only a Hobby guy.
And when inspiration goes missing I tend to look to what is popular or go back to my old comic haunts.
There is some good news to this though.
I had already decided not to go down the route of trying to sell the Armour X, as I too think it is to risky.
What with copyright and plagiarism.
I'm going to spend another week or so doing some basic UV maps of the 140-odd parts.
He is only made for Carrara.
So I'm going to perhaps upset some when I say.

If I can find a Free file host.

I will the make him a FREE!!! FREE!!! FREE!!! Bee

I will set him up for all to play with.
This will give everyone a taste of my style and layout.

And mybe a taste for my own creations.
Such as
PL.345.UR.3
Featured above

No Worries **Tom
**Nice to know there are people out there on side
I'm gonna have a try at doing some UV mapping tomorrow night
GhengisFarb
Then others could do their own textures. =)

Thanks all

And Thanks **nyguy

Z**

Thanks Guys
An animation is not out of the loop yet.

Tom,
I will probably make the Sabers retractable.
Also.
I'm not too sure what criteria people would expect of a model.
This one for example:-
Rigged - Yes
Shaders - Yes
Components / parts - 143
UV Mapped - NO
Textures - NO

This would most likely Drive Me MAD***!!!*** if I was to set about trying to UV map 143 parts.
There is a lot of wires on the edges.

As it stands ( + better Shaders ) would anyone be interested in parting with a few bucks?

Let me know guys, I'm interested.
