manually copying thumbnail from .car file to cbr.
i started saving my hdr presets.
on effects tab
under background
hdr save icon.
add a folder to misc tab,
when it asks for type, select background.
by default carrara tray shows a star for the file.
to generate the thumbnail,
save scene with preview, uncompressed.
open car file with notepad or wordpad. search for "PREV"
copy everything between:
Prev {
TVPr {
bunch of ascii
}
}
open the cbr file of the hdr preset you saved
under:
brow {
kind back
prvw 0
comm ""
}
paste in what you just copied from the .car file.
to apply a background preset, drag thumbnail on top of background in efffects tab.
i'm sure this is the hard way, theres prolly a song about the hard way.
