Hi All, I switched to Carrara 5 Pro for all my 'toon rendering about 6 weeks ago. The three most recent 'toons on my site are the first posted examples. I'm Very happy with C5 so far. No crashes. Far better texture and memory handling. As I learn the program more, the renderings will get a bit more sophisticated. I just finally got skin to come out the way I wanted it two days ago. I'm working about 5 weeks in advance so THAT 'toon will show up on the site in May. A new C5 'toon went up today. See what you think! Hope you like 'em, Gordon :-D

I thought you meant "toon" as in Cartoon : ). Your work is not Cartoon at all. Nice scenes - do you use Poser to set up and then import to Carrara?
Never Give Up!

Yes, that's what I'm doing. I set up as much as possible in Poser 6, then import everything into Carrara. In C5 I set up the lights, cameras, tweak the textures and positioning, and then render. As time goes on, and I become more knowledgeable in Carrara, I'll be doing more in C5, and less in Poser. A lot of people have the same reaction to the term "toon". When you see that, you think "line drawing". That's part of the reason I call them FoToonZ. I feel that the 3D rendering aspect of them really adds a whole new dimension. It also adds tons of time. I'm managing about two per week, at the moment. And THANKS! I'm glad y'all like them! Gordon :-)

I just visited the site!!! Someone asked me on another forum what I was on (South Australian Coopers Stout). What is your excuse?

I have no excuse. :-) Just a somewhat bent outlook on life. :-D

I like the frog and the chick. I also liked the early digital computer. Didn't look at them all tho. Hey sometimes you have to be bent to get a different perspective, of course it's usually of the ground or people's feet. 
No need to think outside the box....
Just make it
invisible.
