Carrara System Features


Professional. Advanced. Complete.

Carrara 7 delivers a multitude of features that enable artists to build a project - from start to finish - with a single piece of software. From the multiple modelers, to the preset textures and shaders, to the ultra-fast and realistic rendering, users will find the toolset delivered in Carrara 7 to be full-featured and complete. See what Carrara users are saying about it:

"The true power for me is the flexibility Carrara 7 provides. Modeling in the assembly room has proven to be invaluable to my workflow. This allows me to visualize my images like never before. Not only can I work on a model in the Assembly room, but I can also take the same model into the modeling room to work on just that model without seeing the whole scene. The best of both worlds."
