Traveling may have been a little misleading.  Going to take care of aging parent for a while.  I will have my old laptop though, and that has Carrara.  Might try to enter the freebie challenge Stezza pointed to.

Love that, Wendy!  Inspires me to revisit some legacy Carrara wonders.  Will be traveling for a week so will have to wait.  

travelling sounds fun though, a walk to the shops is all I can manage  

might get adventurous and catch a train the bigger shops next week

Pretty interesting.Nice. Did you render these as carrara animation sequences or a mix of still and animated. Were god rays and volumetrics added after? Using AI for rendering optimization can be very helpful.

are all still renders I used in an Ai image animation program

Pinokio web browser Wan2.1 app LTX option 

some just one image others a start and finish image, each mp4 121 frame at 30fps so 4seconds

some were sort of linked view wise but made little difference as the Ai camera just did it own thing adding features along the timeline if nothing matched the final frame or panning dollying in odd ways

the clouds and mist just went silly by itself , the godrays were prompted as I included crepuscular rays and caustics in the long prompt which also included birds, insects, wind, rusting leaves

Ai animated Carrara 3D renders (yes shared there Carrara forum too, shoot me)

these are 3D renders

rendered in Carrara

native engine even, not Octane 

but I animated them using Ai Headwax and some may not want to click 

the results are ...interesting

Freebie Repo!

Hello there chums Both myself and my captors run the monthly freebie competition right here on these very boards, and it would be nice to have a lovely list of freebie resources that is (mostly) up to date. I will add my own entries, or any other resources that should be safe for the freebie competition. If you have a wicked resource for freebies (that isn't dodgy), please shoot me a PM, and i'll add it here.

Thanks Pals!

Websites: 

Polyhaven - Using any individual models, textures, or HDRIs from these sites will count as a freebie, and they do stack. If the competition requires 3 freebies, and you use 3 models, you're golden.

Renderhub - Not sure if these are rotational. It's probably fine.

Daz3D Freebies - Yes, Daz freebies.

Renderosity - Rendo, up to date, decent stuff.

3Dassets.one - Lots of textures, models and HDRIs. Not daz ready, but takes minimal effort to import.

Wilmap - Sight for older genesis clothing, but still a great repo.

sdeBStore - Lots of good quality modern G8/9 clothing.

3dShards - @FrankTheTank submitted this, looks good.

Cgbytes - The family friendly area.

Destroy! - A pack of props and crowd generator tools submitted by @FrankTheTank

Carrara:

Carrara Freebie Index - Submitted by @Stezza

KA Freebies:

Camper Van

News Room

Laptop

A Curious Christmas Gift

Polyhaven Bundle:

Polyhaven Vol 1 (These models are from the good folks at polyhaven. I have simply repacked them for daz, with data/runtime paths.)

...Again, please reach out to me if you have more current freebie resources.

oh by the way, one thing to bear in mind, while DAZ studio is faster when everything fits on your GPU

Carrara is considerably faster than D|S if it does not

which for me is often the case with those big Howie Farkes scenes

coupla questions:

* Can one import a ds scene into Carrara?
* Is Carrara slated for discontinuation (thus its currently very low price)?

no longer in development but yes it loads duf files with some caveates

Genesis 3, 8 & 8.5 crash it due to a mismatched typo in the several bone/node namings

Genesis 9 needs conversion to blended weight and resaving as a new character preset as does all the clothing

Strandbased hair won't import as mesh only useless lines

but Carrara has dynamic hair of its own

dforce doesn't import you can use dforce2morph though to create and save matching cloth poses

many props need to have the U on the UV map tiling unchecked

however Sparrowhawk made a plugin to do this

those are some main ones

the CPU based render engine is not bad, it's better than 3Delight but not as good as iray but if you don't have a Nvidia card it is much faster than iray CPU

you can always just use it to render backgrounds 

greywolf said:

* Is Carrara slated for discontinuation (thus its currently very low price)?

"Discontinue" isn't really the right word, Carrara just hasn't been developed in a decade or so. I don't know that Daz has developed it (or Bryce) since they bought it.
