Agent Smith your a GOD, my clock was set to march for some strange reason, changing it back to Feb and my pictures now show, what a weird problem.

THANKS, THANKS, THANKS :-)

You need to do some sort of plugin bundle deals as their are so many to choose from, ie buy 3 get 1 free. Pete

Im not gonna rush for this UG as i think its somewhat limited for the price, Blurry Reflections, 3d Motion Blur and Vector Motion Blur should be in a V4 upgrade wether you buy pro or not as I already own Transposer and Amapi 7, plus the Landscape and Sky look a lot like the old plugins from the raydream days. Where are the improvement's to the shader and render setting ie subsurface scattering etc, particles not even touched. Plus the cost. Standard Upgrade 105 for less than 10 additions or Pro for 162, with XSI and 40hrs of tutorials now only 350 (yes 200+ difference) its getting harder to go for these Ugrades take into account that Carrara will need to get to ver 6 before we see resonable cloth and hair inc. FWIW im not going to abandon Carrara as Im very happy with version 3, Amapi 7 and Transposer, V3 is one of the best apps on the market for its specific market but a V4 tag needed more possibly a 3.5 would have been a better title.

are you using Shader-ops to get the edge effect, if so what settings do ya use. Its looking good already, strong use of colour. Cool Cheers Pete

Point 1: if curious labs can offer a poser 5 download over 600mb in total, surely eovia can i'm assuming the plugin isnt that big. Point 2: when i bought poser the other night I wasnt stung for english tax and shipping. Point 3: I want this plugin just at a fair price, no more no less.

Having just bought poser 5 and still only learning Carrara im gonna hold on a little while and hope someone from Eovia looks at this forum and does something about the price issue, ive realised that the plugin will cost more than my ug from poser 3 to v 5, its the same with the vectorstyle plugin I just cant justify that sort of price at the moment, saying that Im itching to get some art done, the possibilities are endless.

FWIW us european's or brits arent complaining about the cost of the plugins JUST the extra cost we have to pay over our american cousins, the power of carrara 3 and the plugins that have been created are amazing eovia have made some really COOOOOL software.

us european users always get a kicking, im in the UK and with a $65 shipping charge (must be personaly delivered) its not worth getting it from the states, why no electronic dowloaded Poser 5 for 91 fantastic, at $99 the transposer plugin would cost around 50-60 not the 120 ill have to pay to buy it from eovia france, this is NOT fair to say the least, same product huge price difference, is anyone from eovia listening...

Hi, ayodejiosokoya Going slightly of topic I think Truespace (6.6) is a fantastic app with a very cool interface probably one of the best out there apart from a slight overkill in the icon area, loads of plgins either free or very cheep, some feature like interactive fillets and champfers that even some of the big apps dont have. The current only downside is the rather old and creaking Lightworks renderengine, this is why I bought Carrara 3, I model for the time being in TS render in Carrara, I was lucky to get C3 Cheep of e-bay (boxed, original) and plan to see what V7 of TS brings to decide which horse to back long term. If you can get a good deal on ts 6 Id go for it. Cheers Pete FWIW there is some great art here at the TS gallery and if you can check out this months 3d World (UK) http://www.3dworldmag.com/ there is a great TS tutorial by Andy Kay. Cheers Pete

Ive been in the fortunate position (spent and lost a dam fortune, oh why do I have principles) to use quite a few apps including Cinema 4d, Lightwave, Truespace etc. FWIW for bang per buck Carrara 3 is amazing, itll never get itself out from under the 'Entry Level or HOBBIEST' banner but who cares when its this good, Ive learnt wether you spend 2000 or 200 on a piece of software people will still want more features, for the price carrara has some stunning one, it quite stable (not one crash in 3 months), stunning render engine, great interface etc. Blender (tech heads) Strata (old interface) Cinema (if version 8.5 highend app, v6 nope) Amorphium (not in the same league) Truespace 6.6 (I still use this as a companion app, great) Wings 3d (fast and free modeler ideal as a complement to Carrara) Lastly if you buy Carrara 3 get 'The Carrara Studio Handbook' by Mike De Le Flor its a very good complement to the C3 manual. Cheers Pete(uk)

how did you get that cool looking shader its similar to an electron microscope look I have been after, any hints. Cheers

The Sit file download dosent contain a .car file, should it. FWIW a fantastic image and explanation, Carrara needs more of stuff like this.

FWIW Bought both LOS and the Real World Metal Shaders last week and they are both fantastic. Pete UK
