Next P3dO to come, version 2.2.5, will have Carrara support.
Supporting Carrara in P3dO has been requested for long by many Carrara users. And I'm very glad to announce that I did it !
A few weeks ago I at last decoded the Carrara thumbnails. With the advices of confirmed Carrara users (Marcelo Teixeira and Faba One) the rest came far easily.
P3dO pro 2.2.5 will show Carrara thumbnails and Textures paths (the free version will only show thumbnails).
It has Carrara Runtimes support, so it will work exactly like it does for Poser: showing the path of Textures, showing missing Textures, Textures thumbnails,...

Scene Manager in action, a Carr file and its Textures thumbnails:

pro 2.2.5 is good enough for managing your Carrara files.
But we already have plan for even more Carrara in P3dO ;)
P3dO pro 2.2.5 beta will be available next week.

That's great news. As both a Carrara and P3dO user for years, I can't wait.

That is mega generous to include a free version! Thanks so much for producing this.

Klebnor, just a little week. Next Friday I will upload the beta. Since nearly everything is finished there will be no delay.
btw As usual there will be some stuff for Poser too, but very little. There are several ongoing projects but the whole planning got messed up by the Carrara stuff (was kinda unscheduled).
Sueposer, thank you for pointing this out. By giving it for free, I'm hoping the Carrara community will support P3dO.
Poser, Carrara, Vue, Renderware are the 4 key softwares P3dO has very good support for. The more a community support my software, the more I do for that community. That's the deal.

...the only trouble is its name (hint: in leet speak, 3 stands for e... try the substitution and see the result).

I know and I'm sorry. The story is that when I began that project 10 years ago I did a Google search. There were 79 anwsers for the term P3dO. I didn't leet speak and I still don't, then P3dO stands for Photo 3D Object nothing else.
Also, I am thinking in changing the name, but I like that one and there are a lot more softwares than 10 years ago. So when you've got a name, stick to it until you've got a better one.

Thanks to both of you.
I'm working on last minute details, but the release is ready.
Since last week I added Carrara animation frame count (number of frames, fps, time) to the InDepth tree information.
I will also add Carrara version, Comments and Material list but not to the first beta, and probably not even 2.2.5.
I'm trying to mimic what I already do with Poser. But there maybe Carrara specific needs that I don't see (I am not a Carrara user), so any suggestion, idea for improvements will be welcome.

Hi,
Is Mac supported?
Thanks

Hi,
unfortunately not. P3dO is very close to Windows Explorer (inlcuding internally) and then it would be very difficult to port it to Mac.
On the other hand I have been told P3dO is behaving fine on Mac with PC emulators like Parallels. But this is not fresh news.
