anyone tried The Nova in Carrara85?

http://www.daz3d.com/the-nova

dont know how something for ds4.8 works in rara.

it says includes obj, does that mean is all one obj?

i'm setting up a scene as a Field Operations base in a cave. i need equipment to be independently moveable.  i've been using the Nagarian Base, Nova would help, lol

Thanks

    The ".obj included" is that the OBJ files used to make the .dsf files are downloadable. Various bits of the scenery are in fact mobile, and respond well to being twisted, translated, and otherwise mangled. As far as working in Carrara, I haven't tried it, but I can't see why it wouldn't. It has 3DL and Iray shaders.

    Here's a scene I put together using it, with the Heart of Space outside laugh

    I don't have this particular set, but Stonemason's set's normally work pretty well in Carrara. The only caveat is that you'll probably need to tweak the UV settings on some parts due to texture shearing (just untick "Map U Values" for the affected shading domains). The 3DL .duf file will probably load fine with the usual shader tweaks. No idea how well Carrara handles Iray mats, cos I haven't tried any.

    Hi, I'm sorry to be a bother, but can you please tell me what "Texture Shearing" is... This sounds like it could be something that I've had problems with on certain models of mine, but I've never been able pin down a definition of it or find out what causes it... I've never come across the term "texture shearing" and that seem a pretty good description of the problem, and perhaps it may lead to a solution or avoiding the cause... Thanks in advance!

    does it work, or needs extra work?

    uv wrapping and stuff?

    thanks :)

    'm guessing means stretching in one dimension, ?

    renewed interest if works as is in carrara ?

    Yes, there are no limits on the return policy in the current promotions.

    thanks!  feeling more confidant to buy it.

    Yeah, the return policy is great. I would have raged out if I had been stuck with various mistakes.

    well, secluded shoreline uses instances.

    yes those do not port over to carrara you need to duplicate or replicate the extras yourself

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    well. dont need the set's skydome.

    the real trick is gonna be preserving the water ripples. the ripples is mostly what attracted me to the set.

    left this running o/n, looks gorgeous in DS (4.6)

    displacement setting, prolly needs setting tweaking in carrara. 

    3.3mb >.<  never imagined 2m limit would be a throttle
