Hi All,
I have dabbled in computer graphics for many years, renewing my interest when I discovered the community on Renderosity, many years ago now. Thanks for all the friends, support, comments and just views! I hope that you like what you see, and don't mind my endless experimenting and daft sense of humour!I have become something of a champion for Carrara and believe it to be one of the most comprehensive and best value 3D packages available. I became known for my extensive use of Carrara's dynamic hair and 2010 has seen the release of a number of commercial Carrara hair products. I have also recorded a whole series of video tutorials for Infinite Skills Inc available over at Daz and also here:http://www.infiniteskills.com/training/learning-carrara-7.htmlOne of my other passions is music and I used to be keyboard player with progressive rock band Manning (2008-2009). I was delighted to make my recording debut on "Number Ten" released early 2009 - I also had a big hand in designing the CD cover and booklet! I am now writing and recording some demos of my own music.Thanks for looking - have a great day! Phil

Great portrait, all materials turned out spectacular. Yes i think the result is perfectly comparable to those made with unbiased engines...

Very gorgeous!!

Superb photo-realism! The face skin, eyelashes, eyebrows, the eyes, the teeth and the hair are all rendered masterfully. One little 'imperfection' though, if I may, is slightly too much shine (or hilite?) on the lower lip. This prevents the lip natural texture to be brought-out and make the image photo-perfect!

She's wearing lip gloss!

Fantastic scene and lighting. You are becoming the Carrara grand master (black belt in realism!). Congrats as well on the Rendo swimsuit contest -- nice piece of work!

"I believe this is comparable in many ways with the output from Luxrender or Octane" ----------------------- Looks very different to a Lux render to my eye. The unbiased renderers tend to much higher contrast. "Realism" is a misnomer, but the typical Lux output has a contrastiness that looks quite phographic; this render by contrast looks very "clamped" As an experiment, take this render, and do one in Lux . . . and then look at the histograms in Photoshop. I should say that I like the render, and Lux and its contrastiness, while more akin to a photograph, aren't necessarily what you want aesthetically . . .

Thanks for the feedback - I did something similar to what you suggested and the output from Carrara is actually very similar in tone and contrast to the unbiased render. Plus with unbiased renderers, you tend to have the ability to adjust brightness and contrast on the fly, as well as apply photographic film color profiles, which you would have to do in Photoshop for the Carrara equivalent.

This is really good coming from Carrara. I have used Carrara before and I really like how the eyes and teeth look in this render. Never seen them render this well.
