Hi everyone,

Creating underwater environments is really easy in Carrara. However, the questions about how to do it pop up regularly. I've put together  a video tutorial about how to do it here. 

Have fun!

Mark

You did again!! Thanks Mark!

Thanks Mr Bremmer. Excellent.

Sweet! This is great timing Mark; I was just working on a coral reef scene and any information to make it better is much appreciated.

Thank you so much as a Carrara newbie I found your tutorials very helpful. May I suggest a tutorial on setting up IK on a generation 3 DAZ model and making a walk cycle and saving it as a nonlinear animation clip. I'd be interested in that.

Thank you very much!

Have a look at Marks Carrarra 5 or6 tutes----

Thanks Brian. I have the Lynda.com Carrara 5 tutorials but they don't go that deep (walk cycles) nor they use the DAZ human figures which is what I'm interested in animating in Carrara.

o.k., thx fr the excellent tutorial, mark.  after the last step I couldn't
see the floaters on my monitor, but I reckon they'd be easy to see in full-res.

 Here's a render from the file I was using. Floating junk!

Marks tutorials are different to any from Linda.com ones!

Between Marks tutorials, and the now excellent  Carrara Help manual, you should find animation of stuff pretty simple---well as much as it can be..

No need to think outside the box....
    Just make it invisible.

This was done with C6 Pro (ocean prop) version. Can this be done with the none Pro C6?

Jim

Maybe a displacement map applied to a plane could substitute for the ocean primitive.

There was a movie tute that used to come with Carrara (3?--4?)  (A fish swimming around?)and there WAS a tute, ? by Mark either on the Eovia site or in one of the 3dXtract enzines!

SWEEEEET! Thanks, Master Bremmer! :D

For those who wants a caustics maps, here's a very usefull and free old app:

Caustics Generatos can create even a animated sequence, maybe could create some displacement map also.

Cheers! ;)

Yup, you can use the caustic generator to make a looped animated gel, and it works pretty well for making an animated displacement map too!
