DAZ Carrara 5 behind growing interactive site and role playing game
ISOinteractive (www.isointeractive.com),
developers of highly unique website designs and content management systems,
recently shared with us how they used DAZ Carrara 5 to create a very high-end and truly compelling interactive site (www.chamberofchat.com) as well as a soon-to-be-launched MMRGP (Massive Multi-Player Role Playing Game). Driven mostly by word of mouth, available free their site has grown to include over 8,000 members and is especially appealing to Harry Potter fans. The
ISOinteractive design team has been using Carrara for years and refers to the software as their "tool of choice" for environment and avatar development. They also credit it for allowing them to make such a visually appealing environment. The team says that they enjoy working with Carrara because it is affordable, easy to use, and "contains all the needed features to create entire rendered 3D worlds without being crammed with stuff we probably wouldn't use". The team has also
announced big plans for the next version of the site which will be launched in November.
