I'm pretty sure I tried the things to person in the last post suggested - but I'm not 100% sure, so when I 'get home and get the chance' I am going to test it one last time - because think the 'double prop-prop' still freaked out when GI was on, even when I tried his suggestions.

I do know I did try flipping off cast and recieve shadows on the prop.

BUT I did NOT turn off shadows on the base genesis-2-human figure... (obviously turning that off would create serious other issues in the look of a render...)

 

I guess if I wanted to get into adult-animation with Carrara, I'd be exploring my M4/V4 collection... and I could see people needing that being very upset because it does appear that genesis compatability was the point of the 8.5 upgrade.

I am mildly curious now as to what app people who do such animation actually do use - given that the quality of such animation has been horrid everytime I wandered across it, maybe they're just sticking to Poser / Daz directly?

(Then again the poor scene composition and dismal lighting of such animations tends to imply the lack of quality rendering is not due to app-choice... :) ).

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
