Hi folks,
Anything Grows 2.5 is now available. For the most part it's just a simple bug patch, but we've sneaked a couple new features in there for the animators! There is a new Bones Mode that goes back to the original unmodified mesh to calculate strand placement and size so that Anything Grows now plays nicely with Carrara's bones. Additionally Gravity can be applied to work locally or globally so when your character does somersaults, the fur droops in the right direction.
Check out the Anything Grows and Bones tutorial at
http://www.digitalcarversguild.com/tutorials/agrobone/
and check the QuickTime movie of the final render at

There is no cost to upgrade for existing Anything Grows customers.

One quick update, the 2.5 release broke tip objects on machines without Altivec or SSE (G3s, pre-XP Athlons, PIIs). There is now a 2.51 at the links above that fixes the problem. Best regards, Eric Winemiller Digital Carvers Guild 3D extensions for Carrara http://digitalcarversguild.com
