I am now learning Carrara, so I thought that I would use an idea from one of my unfinished Poser scenes to test it out. I've had Carrara since version 5, and this was done in C6. But I was always put off by the interface, and the myriad and complex looking software. Basically, It sat on my various harddrives and collected dust. Recently, I've had problems with my main software, so I decided it was finally time to actually learn Carrara. And so I used my "boy in white underwear" scene to become familiar with various aspects of C. It's not much, and it's not my best work, but this was just a learning exercise. Becoming familiar with the interface and basic how-to's of C, I even used shaders on the Draconian tail and Monk's staff; I used "everything glows" on the lamp, and I tried to use a little bit of everything but the modellers. I'm enjoying 3D again, and Carrara is quite fun -- especially since it'll open up areas that I couldn't do well in Poser. Especially larger scenes. I hope you bear with me while I learn Carrara, and let me know how I'm doing ;) M4, Cypress Hill by antfarm, Draconian by garee, lantern freebie by Sams3D
