Hello All.

I was thinking of buying Carrara if it has some advantages over other modeling tools to create DAZ Character clothes such as for Victoria 4 or Michael 3.  I have Cinema 4D and it seems like it will take quite a while to put something together with that. 

Can anyone shed some information on whehter Carrara has some features that give it an edge on making clothes for DAZ Characters? I am hoping it does since DAZ sells both Carrara and the DAZ Characters I mentioned.

Thanks in advance.

The answer is no. With C4D you will have mor etools to model cloth for Poser content. Daz Studio has some rigging tools to create cloth and characters, but no model tool.

I use Carrara to model since is the software that I have, but to create cloth and propers I have to use other tools that you can find here at Renderosity, like Quick Conform and Auto Group Editor, all from 3DUtils

You can also use Poser to create the CR2 files too... but I really like those tools that I mentioned.

Clothes or a car its the same .. you need to learn 3dMODELING anyway.

And then rigging, joint editing, uv mapping, morphs, grouping .. texturing...

No short cut in modeling for POSER OR DS ....

With all due respect, actually there is.

Grab Marvelous Design 2. With this you can easily make real world clothing, export them and manipulate them in Carrara or Studio (thru rigging)

Making Cloth for Victoria 4

This tutorial deals with the overall process from cloth draping in Marvelous Designer to the final rendering in DAZ Studio. You can learn the following topics.

• File import/export for DAZ Studio

• Draping

• Pose change

• Texture setting

All these works can be done within an hour using Marvelous Designer. Enjoy it.

And the short cut is what ?

 just a other tool to learn .. i dont see a Space suit with helm and boots belts etc ect being made with that draping tool...

So other then just the next "tool" to do it with, there are no shortcuts ..

True, its not best for all clothing situations. I doubt it can do hardbody simulations such as helmets or boots (not sure if you want to drape those, well maybe long boots LOL)

This is just a way of getting basic design of your 3D creation into other apps for refining. sorry if i misunderstood the question.

To me looks more like a new modeling tool... you still need to group and rig it.
