probably dynamic hair that responds to gravity, etc.


MistyLaraCarrara posted Thu, 06 April 2017 at 10:56 AM

what about under water gravity?

or i guess it would be water friction instead of air friction?

thinking of mermaid hair.

can't find a mermaid moji :doh:

See, I am greedy, I like that I have all of them in one program! I like the multi-pass layering (it simplifies postwork so much!) The only thing I am missing is the ability to use IRAY (or comparable renderer with it), but that's only because I haven't yet bought Octane, I guess. There are some features that could benefit from improvement, but I like most of the ones already there a lot!

My main interest is animation, which Carrara does very nicely and can be very fast with standard settings (10 sec/frame or less). Direct support for Poser content (loads from Carrara's browser) and better than Poser for animation. Also Non-Linear Animation (NLA) with clips saved, including imported AniMate mocaps. A good timeline in the sequencer with lots of control of everything. Etc. An example that some people like:

I tried first a few 3d softwares (3DS max, Poser, c4d, Vue...) but very quickly preferred Carrara, very user-frendly and mainly for it's timeline. Very later (about 7 years ago), I discovered the DAZ characters, it was a revolution for me!

what about under water gravity?

Record your simulation with more images per second or slow down the speed in an other software (AE, Premiere...) but I prefer extend the keyframes in the timeline in Carrara or reduce the gravity of the scene (about 3 rather than 9,8) during the hair or clothe simulation.

carrara can simulate gravity on like mars or the moon?!! just need to do the gravity math??!!

sounds exciting

Indeed. I've always thought toys were a great inspiration (e.g. Pixar), especially the clever toys. Here is an ode to a very clever toy:

too long between using a feature i forget how to do it

Dart told me how to make the edges of terrain lay flat, was easy too.

Carrara has so many features I love but LIGHTS would be high on the list of my favourites. You can create some really interesting special effects such as lasers. Experiments are endless.as there are a great many attributes you can apply or animate. My wish list would be for "Realistic Ocean " although you can make some interesting looking waves with a terrain and using the special shaders from the shader room then animating the terrain with a wave modifier. The orca ocean plugin helps with floating objects. By the way "Animators " dont forget to check out CarraraTors forum Heaps of information here on animation and other stuff.

Ease of use with the interface, also the great native render engine and it's speed.

Wendy, great cave beast. That is why I like Carrara hair so much.


diomede posted Sun, 30 April 2017 at 4:56 PM

Would you consider offering the cave beats hair as a freebie? Just kidding. Well sort of. OK, not kidding.
