At the moment I'm working on a number of game projects. One of them is a tycoon type game set in space. Basically you have to construct a city and manage it and achieve a different goal in each level. A number of robots and air & ground units are at your disposal, each of them preforming a different task. Some build, others repair, some trade and others collect materials (metals, stone and so on) needed for the mission.

The game has an isometric view and uses rendered images and movies. Carrara 5 Standard with TransPoser is being used to construct, animate and render all of the buildings, ground and air units, landscapes and so on.

Carrara is perfect for this job and has improved my workflow a lot. Before I needed to switch between different applications, but thanks to Carrara's ability to import poser models directly, create landscapes, good animation features and excellent modeling tools, I'm not in need anymore of a number of applications to complete the job. All the tools needed in one application and that one doing it excellent, is a huge improvement and joy.

Also the ability of Carrara to switch to different camara types (from conical to isometric to spherical) is marvelous.

I'm very content with using Carrara 5 ST in game design, that's the main purpose I purchased it. Attached you'll find a preview screenshot of the game. The game is nowhere near being finished, just wanted to show you all what I'm using Carrara for.

I'm sure some of you will recognize some of the models used in this screenshot. Dystopia for the city blocks (the city shown is not finished yet, the user can build many more additions to it) and a number of DAZ models for the air-units. The blueish/purple tentacle thingy is an electrical storm hitting this city, it has not been created with Carrara.

 

Imo, Carrara rocks! It saves me lot's of time and the rendering capacity is making my rendered items for the game much better then before.

Artwork and 3DToons items, create the perfect place for you toon and other figures!
