That's some Awsome SHTUFF!!! there Rudolf After seeing this I honestly don't think that Santa will be getting much sleep this year. As Blayne Edward & Twon Mary Weather Use to say, This Deserves a 2 SLAPS UP & A TWIST!! UH HUH!!!

Pretty Cool Bluezman, You got a T-100 texture effect going. I can definately dig that

Someone fill me In, What's going on? what has Metacreations done to RDS? at least give me the URL where I can read up on It.

did you DL the 1.0.1 patch from the metacreation website? I think that's suppose to fix the software crash when rendering and some other bug fixed, I do not quite remenber. But I can sure say as a Newbee, first timer In the world of 3D, Carrara should not have been my 1st choice. The Dam thing does have It's share of problems, I'm thinking of moving to Rhino, I heard that It Is pretty darn good.

Pretty funny cutcopypaste, I'm In tears laughing!!!. Sorry headgamer, but my guest would Is as good as cutcopypaste's.

The Carrara Bible Is by IDG Worlwide, It Is awsome very user friendly words used (non Guru words for us Newbee's). I just purchased It my-self from barnesandnoble.com, definately a must purchase.

I just got strata 3D Last night, It's free. I just wanted to check It out, so I exported the model Into strata 3D just to see what this puppy can do. And thanks for the good comments guys. You can cet It at strata3d.com

Pretty cool, looks like some sort of plasma cannon. Good work dethblud.

Awsome Clint, yes I proud to say that my Mentor's got some mad Skills.

I'm In the same shoes you are, and looking for that answer also??? Hope we find one.

Yes you are correct, but the press realease dated 5/5/2000 stated Adobe purchased Canoma and Liscenced Carrara (what does that mean??) I have no freaking clue except that I am getting pretty pissed off and anoid with all the bugs the Darn thing has, after spending $350 on something, one would definately be (That's more then a Sony PS2!), and as of have no clue If you've invested in a piece crap or something with tremendous future potential.

Sorry about that Spanfarkle, I am still new to this forum, I felt we were like family here, did not know we had a code of ethics on names. Heck I got nothing to hide and nothing to loose, My real name is Serge, my nickname Is bigserge. If I affended you by doing so I apologize. Well I guest this marks the end of the bitch session, I see you guys have releaved a bit of stress by venting of, that's always a plus. Anyway we shall continue head strong with this Carrara/RDS forum party, post our Images and hopefully someone from the big "head huncho's" out there will realize that some of us just will not give up on our investment, and maybe just maybe crank it up a up a notch or 2 to continue some further support for Carrara sometime soon. Love, Peace, and Chiken Grease!!

Gentleman let your engines ROAR!!! and good luck on your Races this weekend and througout the summer. And Daf, you've got some Bit$#%ng Wheels. Clint I shall give the feed your dreams Image a shot.

I see nothing wrong with doing so Nemesis, If the end product Is exactly what you want it to be them by all means subdivide. Heck multires subdivide if you have to just make sure to always save different versions of your image.

All the problems I've had I was able to work around them, except for the 3D boolean union of 2 objects in the modeling room. Rendering seems to fail 80% of the time, unless I'm joining the 2 obejcts improperply? Besides that It his a pretty darn good program as I stated before It has some great potential (very user friendly) as matter of fact I do recommended to first timers to the 3D world who's learning on there one and the pricing Is pretty good for what this puppy can do. As Dwayne Edward and Twon Mary-Weather use to say this deserves a "2 SNAPS UP and A TWIST", and If all the bugs were cleared I give Carrara 5 on 5 in 5 star rating. Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease to all!!
