Go ahead, hit me! Spam me. Anyone have experience with Carrara's render farm? Not much about it at their site. The specs for moving Poser assests into Carrara5Pro look highly appetizing. But it's only worth it to me if I get a real boost in render speed and solid render farm implementation. This would be for animated scenes where skin realism, convincing hair and cloth dynamics, and global illumination/soft shadows are the empahsis. (Not landscapes, vegitation, architecture, flyovers, etc.) Both Poser and Carrara have these tools. I am making great progress in Poser6, but to get realism with two characters, dynamic hair and clothes and GI, I am at approximately 600 seconds per frame at 720x540. I have been gradually whittling that down from 12-15 mintues per frame through texture simplification and lighting optimization and shaders. Any experience reports on Carrara would be welcome. ::::: Opera ::::: [cross posted at RDNA]
