I haven't been here in a very long time...what a great new look to the site and an uncluttered place to find Carrara information. And so many familiar 'faces' 😀

Now that I have a new PC build with more power, I am re-downloading all my content from sources other than DAZ. One type I often use are the 2D backgrounds. Some are my own photos, others are things I get here. If I have a project going, I have been just putting the bcg image into the project folder along with other unique texture I've made for the characters/scene. But after a while, I realise that I'd like to have them in one place that possibly could be listed as thumbnails(?) in the Carrara content tab views.

I have not a clue if this is even possible, but I started thinking about it. I don't want to have to load them all onto planes and then save as backdrops in the browser. I have done that with a couple, but they are hard to preview that way.

Apologies if this isn't possible or I am talking nonsense... but it is so easy to lose track of good stuff as I have found in re-inventorying everything for the new setup.

Also... is it possible to ADD a tab to the Carrara browser for content? The Misc section got so cluttered up with my save to browser operations.

I have other questions...but will leave them for now. One step at a time for re-organising all this.
