THIGH MASTER!!!!!! LOL Good Idea!!! Has anyone made a thigh master prop??? Thanks for the suggestions. It didnt even occur to me to use magnets. (Duh) Thanks Again c9

Hi all, I thought it made sense but I wanted to make sure. Thanks. But, then how come applications like Adobe After Effects and Infini-D don't require you to manually save renders to disk??? Maybe this is why Carrara renders faster??? I'm just trying to figure out the reason for the extra step of saving and why I get that "file not found" error. I will of course try that "batch render" thing. Thanks for pointing that out. Incidentally, I think that Carrara is a fine application. Some things just need to be worked out. I was also wondering about the QTVR assistant in Infini-D. Is there any way to do this in Carrara??? Maybe with the advent of MetaStream QTVR was done away with. But that, I guess, is another post. Thanks Again, C9

Thanks Alot, Clay. I'll check it out.

Thanks for the suggestions Willf. I've created an animated ribbon blowing in wind and this is what i'm attempting to render. I did a straight rectangle in the spline modeler and used the wave modifier to do the animation. Now that you mention it, i did have success in rendering a sphere as sequential photoshop 2.5 w mask G-buffer turned on, and it composited just fine in After Effects. I dont know why it is not working with the ribbon though. I will try it with different objects.

I think that when you click in the respective windows the camera controls become available. I'm not sure though. c9

I will take your advice and try different formats. (i have been using "Pict". Im also wondering if ther are any constraints on the size and shape that image maps can be in carrara. i do animation for a television production studio which specializes in sport programs. for that reason i make my texture maps high res. (so if for example a 3d soccer ball zooms up to the screen even the stitches appear realistic) Maybe i'm asking too much of Carrara and need to spring for higher end software. I'll try the different file formats though. (I also dont appreciate the fact that in carrara i cant render QT animations with Alpha for compositing in after effects) Thanks c9

Great!!! Thanks for all the help. I think that some of the better features of Infini-d were lost with its integration with Ray Dream. I think it was way easier to add colours and textures in Infini-d. But that's just my opinion (since Ifini-d was my first 3D application. I will of course try all your suggestions. thnx again, c9

I've been searching all the sites. I still can't find anything remotely close. C9

That's exactly what I need a "tabbi" Morph Target!!! If you Remember where it is, please let me know. Thanks, C9

Hey Guys, I found the MT's that I need at Morph World 2.0 in the P4 Nude Male Smooth Pack. I would really like to learn to make them myself, though. They didnt work immediately. Poser wasn't seeing the files. I had to open them in Microsoft Word and "save as", then they worked fine. Maybe it is because I'm on a Mac and they were PC files. I'll still keep trying to do my own though. Later c9

I'm using the "newMaleNudeHi" model. I import it into rayDream5.5 and I'm trying to smooth the nipple off, So i use "rCollar" and delete the rest. But when I try to use it in poser, I'm getting the wrong no. of vertices message. Thanks for the prompt replies c9

Thanks Clint, i'll try your suggestions

Thanks everyone! I will try your suggestions (of course). What I needed it for was to makes a skin suit, sort of like what batman beyond wears, but with cybernetic stuff attached. I will also need to get rid of the ears, nose and mouth. If I achieve anything acceptable I shall post it. Otherwise I shall return to the mountains of Tibet to meditate on my failure for yet another 99 years.

BTW... I mean a male model.

Thanks. I think i will have to settle for the fashion model height. It will do for now (at least until I get my bearings in poser.
