Carrara 5 Revealed ! - Page 3 - Polyloop

KMQ · 31st October 2005, 16:44

I think you may be correct about the render-time calculation, which while less than ideal is still more useful than the (literal) hack Raydream/Carrara implementation. So long as the new version has reliable results it will still be a vast improvement. It's is also not terribly uncommon for a person to not really use Booleans, especially with bad implementation. They are mostly useful for mechanical/manufactured modeling (I've done a hella lot of sci-fi modeling,) with limited if any use in organic modeling, and when dynamic can be used for various animation purposes such as cutaways and burrowing or what have you.

Herm, another ID era feature it would be nice to see would be spline interpolation control. Ah well, one can dream--that is unless it got put in recently and I missed it. Very nice for shortcutting to low polly from spline, surface fidelity is seemingly useless.

Are the current plugins going to have to be rewritten for carrara5?

Nichod · 1st November 2005, 17:18

No just recompiled. Which the DCG plugins are available at the moment.

jtbullet · 2nd November 2005, 15:45

Got a problem in v5 beta guys. I love it, but I cant figure out how to delete a poser figure once i import it. It is frustratign, but I know I am just doing it wrong.

Davidoff · 2nd November 2005, 15:49

Detach the skeleton and then delete the figure.

jtbullet · 2nd November 2005, 15:49

How do you "detach the skeleton"? I am still digging through the manual!

Davidoff · 2nd November 2005, 16:09

Look at menu "Skinning"

jtbullet · 2nd November 2005, 16:12

Thanks davidoff!

jtbullet · 2nd November 2005, 16:19

Ok I detached the skeleton, and the figure deleted, I think, but how to delete the skeleton now? I am sorry to ask so much. Carrara 5 seems a bit slow when working with the poser figures.

jtbullet · 2nd November 2005, 16:22

OK i Got it!

jtbullet · 2nd November 2005, 18:03

hey guys, i have rendered an animation, but the dreaded shimmer is very present. Any way to lessen this? Uncompressed frames imported into after effects? I am hoping for a simpler way than that.

jtbullet · 3rd November 2005, 21:46

Is Carrara 5 aware of the second core in a dual core processor?

Thomas · 3rd November 2005, 22:06

Jtbullet : you know, you can edit your messages to avoid having 5 messages on the queue from you

yes, Carrara is aware of dual/quad/n processors, or cores.

For your animation "dreaded shimmer", I don't understand what it means, I won't be able to help you on that.

Tell me how Thomas. I am sorry. Just an excited new carrara user. I am sad to switch from cinema 4d, but carrara is saving me too much time;)
Can some one tell me a list of shader packs that I can buy that will be compatible with v5?
Thanks,
Jarrett

Nichod · 4th November 2005, 12:43

I have a shader pack available. Simple Shaders. But I've been slowly revamping my site so it will be a little while before its available again.

jtbullet · 4th November 2005, 16:00

Thanks Nichod. I have been looking at your site hoping that it will be available. It is good to hear that it is coming. Maybe you could just get the payment section working!
Thanks,
Jarrett

jtbullet · 4th November 2005, 22:16

Anybody care to give me a quick lesson on using the surface replicator? I am having a problem with it.

Thomas · 4th November 2005, 22:30

Did you take a lok at the Carrara tutorial section?

jtbullet · 4th November 2005, 23:05

Thomas, I didnt even know there was such a thing. Thanks so much.
The more I use it, the more I see that carrara 5 has too many benefits to
use anything else. I love it! If someone will add wind to the trees, then vue 5 wouldnt would be a non-issue for most.

Nichod · 5th November 2005, 13:39

jtbullet-

I'm hoping for it to be back up this week. But I have a busy schedule so we shall see. Also have some video tutorials in the works on character animation and some texturing stuff as well.
