  Of course, there are many free Carrara products out there as well.

  Indigone has the Endless Eyes kit and other stuff at her ShareCG account, as well as many other useful things:

  3Dage (Andy, come back!) has some lovely things in his ShareCG account:
  http://www.ShareCG.com/pf/full_uploads.php?pf_user_name=3DAGE

  DAZ's own GKDantas has some nice stuff at ShareCG as well:
  http://www.ShareCG.com/pf/full_uploads.php?pf_user_name=GKDantas

  I also have an account with some free stuff as well. Some of it is meant as learning aids from past forum discussions and aren't very polished. Others are more finished, such as the Fantasy Village Terrain™, released before Phil's set. (Still waitin' on those licensing residuals Phil! ;-) )

  Okay, I think that's it - until and update is required. Unless I've accidentally skipped something, these are all I know of in the DAZ store. Please inform me if I missed something.

  I love Supersuits and all the fun things I can do with it in DAZ. Unfortunately it does not work in Carrara. Is there a Supersuit planned for Carrara or some plugin or import procedure that will allow me to create Carrara characters with Supersuits?

  Just curious

  As soon as I can, I'll check into making it work. Thanks for reminding me. If nobody else beats me to it.

  Oh, absolutely! I have incredibly limited internet time right now - but I'll be sure to get links to your files! Thanks, Rebecca!

  Rebecca, please see your listings under Shaders and Models -
  I tried a few methods of displaying it - and I'm wondering if what I've done is cool, or if you have a better idea?

  Such a resource will certainly require a good bit of updating to keep current with what's available.

  Nice compilation, Dartanbeck. All the data in the world is useless if nobody can find it. I've bookmarked it. I wouldn't know there was this much available for Carrara if I hadn't seen your list.

  IMO, the most useful thing that can be done to keep your list updated wouldn't require much effort from you at all. Set up a link checker to run on it automatically, and notify you of broken links. With this many links, some will be broken in less than a month. Just a thought. Thanks for your work.

  Please let me know if any links are broken.
  I do know that I already have a pile of updating to do to the list - especially Howie Farkes and Ringo Monfort, and I know at least some from Phil Wilkes.

  Good evening Sir,
  I think you've done a wonderful job of listing my rather confusing collections
  I have added Ruche shaders Typ 1 + 2, and about an hour ago I added Knits.
  Don't worry about updating me yet though because if all goes well I will be
  adding Velvet tomorrow, and I'm close to perfecting Angora - or giving up on it!
  Fuzzy Angora is a nightmare! I also have a Linen in the works, and maybe
  Ruche 3 + 4..... Many ideas.

  I will also be doing some textures for outfits around the end of January,
  haven't decided if they should be shaders, or Carrara + DAZ Studio + Poser
  friendly texture maps, right now they are in map format. I use Photoshop and
  the Stitch Witch to make them.

  If you have a suggestion on the final format, it would be greatly appreciated.
  Bye for now, and thanx!!! - Rebecca De Carlo aka NexySaloon

  That's awesome! You totally R O C K ! ! !
  Isn't the Carrara Texture Room one of the most fun places in the whole world?!!! I just love it - and I still have a whole lifetime and more to learn in it! :)

  Speaking of learning, one of the very many things that I really love about Carrara is the fact that I can do so much for my projects without even leaving Carrara. I've even gone so far as to use lights to act as post work! LOL
  But lately I've really been having a blast practicing my modeling skills in the assembly room, and decided to try and paint my models using the 3d paint tools. Wow! What a Blast!!!
  In that endeavor, I cannot say enough about UV Mapping. Without good UV, painting can be less than predictable in spots. Luckily for me, UV Map editing is what started me into 3d in the first place - so I have a pretty good feel for that.

  I noticed that, when things start to seem a little wacky and out of control in the UV Edit mode, just zoom in a bit - as much as you can while still being able to work. Smooths the tool right out. Same goes with some of the modeling tools. But now I'm having so much fun paint my own texture maps directly in Carrara! I still add more and tweak them out a bit in Dogwaffle, but the one I'm working on today didn't need any of that yet. It's looking really cool. I bought the Scratches from GKDantas, who just converted Ron's Scratches to Carrara. Now I just bought the lot of Ringo's brushes. Just freaking cool! Scaling the size of the brush scales the tool texture. Along with falloff and opacity, smoothness and so on - it's just amazing what can be done. And you can layer as well. I still have so much to learn in Carrara, I'm glad that I already have a good handle on how to use it for what I actually bought it for! LOL Because I'll be learning new things out of this vast app for the rest of my life - and I'm still a fairly young feller! :)

  Now I'm also going to be making some clothes for the new Genesis models and I want to use the displacement painting for sculpting in high resolutions. Thank goodness for the RAM capabilities of 64 bit! I think that the 3d painting takes a goodly amount of RAM as well. Dog gone, am I ever having fun, though. This sort of thing reminds me about how excited I was when I first started playing with it. So Cool!

  Babble Babble... that's me, eh? ;)

  Take care... and thanks for your awesome creations!

  I would not have suggested it, Dartanbeck, if I hadn't seen two or three broken links on the DAZ site last month. If I recall, they were in the documentation section.

  But I don't sell scripts! :lol: Just trying to be helpful.
