Looking good!

Ok, there is a new Scene Wizard with alot of options so you can build scenes in no time. I think it's much faster the v2 and the tesselation has been improved overall. Rendering is awesome, some of the features are Raytracing, Global Illumination and Caustics. There is a Draft Render for Wireframes and to check out your animations. And the NPR (Non-Photo-Realistic) render wich has effects like sketches and painting effects. The renderer is also very fast! As for texturing, I think it has improved and v3 now has UV Mapping built in. Like I said in the previous post the Tree Editor is cool also, you can even make custom leaves. There is a $15 plugin that allows you to apply morphs to your models for character animation. Its a great program and keeps getting better. I think you would be very happy upgrading to v3.

There are alot of new features like the tree editor and the vertex modeler now has Sub-D modeling so you create organic models much easier. I think the content cd has the same models but a few extras like some HDRI stuff. The rendering is much better. Download the demo, thats what got me to upgrade :)

One day I hope to be this good. Nice work.

Right click on a .car file and choose "open with" next choose Carrara from the list. If it's not listed then click the browse button and locate your Carrara.exe, next check the box "always use this program to open these files" and your done.
