Carrara 8 Test : Particles and Physics

Carrara 8 Begineer Artist Psycho Clown just playing and testing the various animation techniques offered by Carrara 8.




For the past 24 hours he has been teaching himself about Particle Generators and have made a few animations using Carrara 8. He also sandwiched between is another physics/gravity/dynamics test.

Carrara 8 Pro Demo by Begineer

A 3D artist just bought Carrara 8 Pro. He feel that it is amazing and easy to use compare with other big brands (e.g. Bryce and Poser).

This is probably just a standard stuff to people who've been using it for a while, but he was really impressed that using within 2 days! He has used to make a good control over the Physics and Particle generators with Carrara 8. He has never used Carrara before. He has worked in other 3D apps (Bryce and Poser mostly).

How To Add Content to DAZ Studio 4 Pro

To add content to DAZ Studio 4 Pro, please take a look to the following steps :

I'll also mention zipped Poser content and native DAZ Studio content.

Set Up

Most of the content you will find in the DAZ store and on other websites is in Poser, rather than DAZ Studio, format. If you allowed DAZ Studio to search for content when you installed it you should already have the Content folder in the DAZ Studio application folder selected as a Poser content directory: if you didn't, or if you want to keep the files elsewhere (they can amount to a lot of data in a short time) you need to go to Edit>Preferences>Directories tab.

Click the button at the top that currently reads DAZ Studio content directories and pick Poser content directories from the list.

Carrara 8 Pro Demo - Rendering Using NASA Map

Another Cool Carrara 8 Pro Demo : Here's a simple animation of Mars using just a NASA map on a sphere and a distant light. Next will add a background using Dartanbeck's cool plugin, Starry Sky.

Carrara 8 Pro (Version 8.1.1.12)


Artist Megacal had a life-long fascination with Mars & Martians since seeing War of the Worlds (1953). Now he has the tools and more time (but less money) since retirement in 2011, he hope to go there more often, and explore, looking for evidence of ancient Martians......maybe some live ones!

Carrara 8 Pro Review - 3D Animation Application For Windows and Mac

DAZ 3D new generation software Carrara 8 and Carrara 8 Pro, new versions of 3D modeling, animation and makes 3D suites that ensure its animation improved tools, better lighting, new rendering tools and effective processing optimization.

With the help of professional artists Carrera 8 Pro Tools will have the ability to run in 64-bit version of Mac and Windows, and Bullet Physics Library. It is open source, advanced physics toolkit allows artists to use hard and soft body dynamics, e.g. Puppeteer Integration. DAZ 3D says that togethered with the speed improvements achieved in the new support for multi-threading and hardware with 64-bit coding, Carrara 8 Pro extremely improves productivity .

The updated export options allow game developers to custom characters, environments and animations directly to the Unity game engine using FBX file format.

Another new features, for example : improved plants and vegetation. Users can add their custom models and textures of leaves, unique flowers, fruits and so on. Artists can also use different type of objects leaves per plant in a more natural variation.

Carrara 8 users can complete their important cleanup work and detail work, with important information about the available objects in the model considered or respected. This allows the user to see immediate results on the job.

Including improved lighting tools, e.g. negative light, God Rays, barn doors in the limelight, and much more capacity, lighting (IES) photometric requested.

Models of DAZ Carrara Studio 8 was added to the tools that improve the ability of animators to quickly create realistic animated characters that can be recorded and used as animation clips. Network enhancements include the ability to add and remove nodes via their master machine that makes frames or containers as required for more secured to protect in case of lost render data.
