Thread: Lighting Question | Forum: Carrara
Parkie, You answered your own question - if a surface is hidden from a light source, that means it's in the shadow of something else. In this case, the inner floor of the pipe was supposed to be in the shadow of inner ceiling of the pipe, and therefore dark. But if you turn off shadows, these natural laws are ignored, and the interior of the pipe is "seen" by the light. It's confusing because it contradicts reality, where there's no such thing as not casting shadows.
Thread: Lighting Question | Forum: Carrara
Yes, shadows is probably the answer. If the bulb doesn't cast shadows, then it will illuminate any surface that's facing it - even if that surface is inside a pipe.
Thread: cavity cube | Forum: Carrara
Perfect One, That's the only think I know about online that answers your question. But basically, to make windows and doors you can use the dynamic extrusion tool in the Vertex Modeler. You can select a polygon and use the dynamic extrusion tool to create a new polygon in the middle of the first one. Then you can use the tool again to extrude the new polygon into a cavity. That's the best explanation I can give in words. I hope you can find a way to register at 3DXtract, because it's a very helpful resource.
Thread: Calling Mac Users | Forum: Carrara
Well, I realize that this exactly NOT what you asked for, but I ran the scene on a dual 1.8 GHz G5, and the render took 1:40. So at least that tells you that there is a Mac that can beat the Athlon. If the G5 took 5 minutes, you could pretty much forget about the G4!

Perfect One, Check out the November 2003 issue of 3DXtract magazine. It's a free downloadable PDF magazine for Carrara users. There's an article in that issue that answers your question exactly. http://3dxtract.com/ - Joe

Thread: Anyone running CS3 on a G5? | Forum: Carrara
I use Carrara at home on a G4, mostly, but I also installed it on my G5 at work, so I can render big animations more quickly if I need to. I have only played with it for about 2 hours there, but it runs nicely. It's a dual processor machine, and I can see both processors running when I render (the yellow render block with the "1" in it is joined by a red one with a "2" in it). So, not a lot of time under my belt, but certainly a positive experience so far. Certainly much MUCH faster than my G4.
Thread: Voting for the banner | Forum: Carrara
A note to some of the entrants: there's no such thing as "Raydreams"... so that's gonna cost you (especially the person why used "Raydreams" to make part of their image).
