Please the press-release for Carrara STudio 3. Ringo

The good news is that Eovia does listen to "us" the customers and they are reading all of these posts. Later Ringo

Hi, This quote is very important. "Even more significantly, it marks the beginning of a valuable partnership that will focus on future development as well asand integration as well." The key word here is INTEGRATION. With is very good news and if Eovia and CuriousLabs will share resourcee I would imagine that the OpenGL engine that Carrara Studio uses can be added to Poser. The new Management at CuriousLabs is more responsive in getting things done and creating partnerships. Personally like so many of you, have always wanted a Poser to Carrara plugin. From the Integration statement I know it will happened. Ringo

CuriousLabs is working on a SR3 and will be out very soon. Ringo

Have you downloaded the 2.1 update? It has better control of bones influence. Ringo

Joe Grover is the best. He used to work at CuriousLabs as part of the Quality assurance team and he did the same at MetaCreations. He is an excellent animator. Everyone here should know Joe. :-) Ringo

True reflection, yes. no problem at all. Ringo

Dear Dreamers! I proud to announce that Eovia just released a new product: VectorStyle. http://www.eovia.com/corporate/releases/pr_02-08-19.jsp VectorStyle is an advanced 3D vector rendering plug-in for Carrara Studio 2. The main features are: - Flash, EPS, Illustrator and SVG outputs - Multiple rendering and export styles - Unmatched accuracy and speed with RAViX II - Optimized files for the Web and Print For more info, check the VectorStyle product page on our web site: http://www.eovia.com/vectorstyle/product_intro_vs.jsp The VectorStyle plug-in allows you to publish your Carrara Studio 2 animations on the web. Using vector file formats, VectorStyle renders compact animations compatible with low-bandwidth connections. The plug-in generates SVG and Flash 3, 4 and 5 files directly, without the need of additional tools. But the product is not limited to Web contents! VectorStyle is also the ultimate solution for generating high-quality scalable vector graphics for print. In a matter of minutes, you will convert your 3D scenes into highly accurate Adobe Illustrator or EPS files. The product also comes with webXport 2, our VET autoring tool. WebXport 2 allows you to create complex, high quality and interactive 3D animations for the web. For Flash examples, go to: http://www.eovia.com/vectorstyle/showcase_vs.jsp For Illustrator renderings, go to: http://www.eovia.com/vectorstyle/prod_tour_vs.jsp The product is available now at the special introductory price of: - US$99.00 (instead of US$129.00). I think VectorStyle is opening many new ways for the graphic artist to express his/her ideas. The ability of creating compact Flash animations or complex Illustrator files enables whole new fields to explore. Until today you were able to render bitmap images or animations only. Now you can generate bitmap and vector files (and interactive files with webXport 2). Our aim with Carrara Studio 2 is to create a complete and turn key solution for the graphic artist. I believe that with Carrara Studio 2 and VectorStyle combined, Eovia released today the "the Swiss Army knife of 3D"! Happy vector rendering to all!

Carrara Studio 2.0 is now OSX and it supports dual CPU on the MAC. The AA has been improved along with many other issues, such as object selection and movements. Better UV mapping in the texture room etc. The eovia team is currently working on an update to 2.0 to clean-up issues that users are finding. Ringo Monfort

Ok Eric, How was this done using Anything grows. Now that I have Anythings grows I need some pointers. Thanks. Ringo
