I've been searching on google but have not found anything that I can use. I am wondering if anybody knows where I can find a digital elevation map of England that I can download and import into Carrara? Failing that do you thing a greyscale of a relief map of England would work in Carrara's terrain editor? This is for the last piece of the animation I've been working on and once this section is done all that remains is some after effects work and the animation is all done. Two months of work, learning, creating and animating in Carrara and I'm almost able to show you all the final product. I'm so excited. Thanks for all your help everyone. David

Look at theTutes and app(Ground Control) at www.digitalcarversguild.com, the radar maps you can download and use in Carrara are amazing.
And, have you looked at the free download of Google Earth! Quite staggering to see your own house-and be able to send a "bomb"! accuratly to hit it dead centre!!

I said app---I meant plug-in. If you are into landscapes, the GroundControl is a great plugin-an essential addon for Carrara.
