try the latest beta as the FBX import has been improved

otherwise Carrara imports FBX  and so does Poser 11+

.dae there is possibly more chance of getting it in rigged correctly but varies a lot

 I'll never - Never Ever!!! - stop using Carrara! 

Me, too, unless Windows ... OK, even then I'll keep a machine running whatever is needed.  I actually did that for Adobe Pagemaker for a long time, then discovered Xara Page & Layout Designer from Magix which is better anyway.

thanks all for the comments 

@ed3d nope not a photo.. modelled in Carrara 

well ,  thanx  _  But  Not  meaning Your image  is a photo 

meaning  put-up an photo of one  +  sorry about the mix up

I'm also going to demonstrate how cool it can be for making our own VFX.

Furthermore, if we use the same elements and cameras in Carrara as any other software render, we can take advantage of Carrara's many multi-pass render facilities to assist us in post!

It is my hope that, the more Daz 3d sees the importance of Carrara, perhaps they can turn their heads toward developing it again - into the future and beyond!

stuffed me knee up somehow ... so finding it hard to sit at the PC so I have bought a mini PC to hook up to the telly! 

Oh-no, hope the knee gets betterer, nothing worse than being legless ....

I assume you have Carrara now installed in the mini to get your Carrara fix ?!

+1

I know it's not much, but it does say a lot.

As this whole "Creative Cart" journey continues, there will be a lot more.

Carrara is an important tool in this industry and it also just happens to be one of my favorite tools Ever!

So at around 2:55 in this video, I tell everyone that I'll never - Never Ever!!! - stop using Carrara! 

Carrara has lovely integration with DAZ studio, and here is a quick example:

CG was done using DAZ and Carrara.

I have Carrara installed directly on my Laptop C-drive as my Anti-Virus was nuking the Program Files installation for some reason.

Landscapes installed within the Carrara program files.

I think the Native Content, scripts (such as Fenric, Luxus, or Mimic), and Starter Essentials must be in the Program Files folder with Carrara itself.

That does NOT mean they can't be on an external drive - it means Carrara would also have to be installed on said drive first.

Yes, it works fine that way, I'm using an older 6tb USB-C external drive made by Seagate, so your SSD is a step up from mine.

3D Blockout and Artificial Inteligence Processing

Here is the final image.  I used Carrara to generate a depth pass and a toon filtered render.  I used those two elements in Controlnet Depth and Canny respectively.

 

Here was the toon render.

 

Here is the depth pass.

 

 Very interesting process.

Agreed. Carrara's multiple pass render output options are a lot of fun for all kinds of cool experiments. I haven't tried them in Iray yet - but it's on my list to explore one day.

Moved to Carrara Discussions as it is not a Daz Studio topic.

Hi fellow Anime Tech Tenders.

Just trying to understand a problem now occurring with my Carrara 8.5 Pro.  Having been issued how install process use to be on hard drive.  Got this problen now as Carrara not able to load Preset and Landscape Wizard files.. this use to be avilable without a second thought.  Now the Software just crashed as installing to start Workshop operations.

Just to mention i'm using a SSD for Windows operating system (Wins 10 64-bit) plus 2 TB Harddrive.

Do any body think the install location of the Resource content is causing the trouble.  If so.  What is the procedure for insall methods.

Hmm.  Problem.  I made a few simple items for G9.  Includes a dress, a top, and a skirt.  But it has been a while since I tried using G9 in Carrara.  It is not posing. I saved it as a character preset.  The conformed clothing is adopting the pose that is appliedtothe G9.  I present it in wireframe mode for forum TOS.  See the dress adopt the pose?  The pose is from the Daz Original base poses for G9.

Did you convert G9 to Blended Weight in DAZ Studio ?

EDIT - Wendy beat me to the draw !
