Thread: Cool trick to cut render times in half - why does it work? | Forum: Carrara
The irradiance map stores calculations regarding light and bounces that can be reused. It sounds like it is independent of size of the render right now, but I think it can be stretched quite a bit. If you look closely some artifacts might be visible on close inspection, if the difference of original render size and full size is too big. But it surely is a good way to reuse calculations.
Thread: Free Carrara 7 3D World | Forum: Carrara
The solution is in the forum somewhere. You need to open the preference files somewhere and change the font that gets used for the interface (bit in a hurry now, sorry)

Thread: Making money off 3D design work... | Forum: Carrara
I use Carrara for whatever visuals I make up in my work as a communication designer. I recently added C4D to my toolbox because more people use it, so I can let others finish my work, or otherwise contribute, but Carrara has been at the base of a lot of images and illustrations. I have used it for animation as well. Per version it is getting better!
It is just a tool, and I am in the position to decide to use it, and now I have new hardware it is a really fast way to deliver sketches or final art.
Selling framed images and such is a whole different ball game. A game that is not about how you made it (the tools/software) but what you made. That comes down to talent and inspiration I guess :)
Thread: Animation Test Render. | Forum: Carrara
It would be fun to do some math and find out how much frames the beat (130 to 140 bpm I presume?) is, so you could sync the movement of the cubes to the beat.
You could cheat a little by using different points of view to re-sync if small differences remain.
Keep up the experimenting! Carrara can cater all you are looking into I think!
Thread: Displacement vs Normal Map | Forum: Vue
In my understanding, the biggest difference between bump and normal map, is that a normal map actually contains 3dimensional information (in the r, b and g channel), while a bump map only has height information (black is low, white is high).
So when you wil get a 'hill' when black gradually goes to gray, a normal map can contain information about the side of the hill, apart from what you see from above...
For instance, in my 'main' 3D app Carrara, I can (with a plugin), generate a normal map from geometry (like a face). When you use a map like that, the face you see in the resulting render looks really like a complete modelled face 'rising' from the surface.
The interaction with light and shadows is much more convincing, but without the render load of displacement maps. It is used a lot in the games industry, to make low-poly models look high-poly, without displacing. It is very powerful.
Thread: Graphics Tablet. | Forum: Carrara
I hardly ever use my mouse, only if I have to do really subtle things in Carrara, like moving something a tiny fraction. And then remembering numeric input is smarter :)
Thread: Completely new to this scene.. question about Vue 8 | Forum: Vue
I use Hexagon for modelling, it is cheaper than Modo and zBrush and is pretty easy to learn I guess. I learned it :)

Thread: Installing Vue Complete on G5 Mac OS X | Forum: Vue
Ah. Looks like Bill Horse fixed it: "I have checked the EONValidator library. And it's missing the PPC architecture. " That's cool. Now I am glad I burned the installer to a DVD the first time :)
Thread: Vue 8 series -- no joy on pricing | Forum: Vue
You will get informed about the complete line today, I was.
The site has problems, I only got blank pages for some time.
Thread: Anyone Else Have Problems At E-On? | Forum: Vue
I got the same, alle information pages are empty. It looks like a database problem. I did buy a sidegrade blind because of this. (maybe that is the plan of E-on? :)

I'd like to know too (so I am making myself part of this thread this way, sorry for not pointing you towards something :)
