The only Carrara book I have and the only one I know exists is the Carrara Bible and its introductory stuff. Some lighting techniques and stuff but its not a good "How to" book to achieve different effects. Sorry dude.

thats some funny s***. Its cool too!

I just thought it would be cool to mess around with 3D modeling stuff so I went out and bought Ray Dream 3D a while back. I don't really consider myself an artist so I do it more as a hobby though I haven't really come up with anything that I would go out of my way to show anyone but thats because I lack motivation and I really have to sit down one day and plan stuff out first. Eventually, I bought Ray Dream Studio 5.5 and tinkered with it for a while until my younger brother cracked my installation CD by dropping it and "accidentally" crushing it with the seat's leg. I stayed for a while without being able to model since I usually format my computer from time to time while trying out some programming things (I'm a programmer afterall) and during my time at Stevens I managed to get my hands on Carrara. I'm working on learning the new interface and features and hopefully I will have something semi-decent to post up soon. Don't laugh though..... ^_^

Thanks!!
