these are makin aiko dance in my head  lol

Great, the first one is very good..  Immediatley I thought of Blackmore's Night... the song below is good Medieval Rock but the transitions in the slideshow are too slow for me... I'd not ever use those.  I could'nt find the song I was looking for on HD.  This has the best sound from all I found on YT.

Amazing! Absolutely. If we 'know' how we want it to look, with Carrara lighting and effects (and render settings) we can often make it happen.

Your techniques have inspired me immensely over the years!

if only daz  had understood the potential within carrara and developed it primarily, now we would have been talking about a pro tool like C4D or even maya but with native characters inside, fully rigged and morphable; wow! a dream of almost anyone in CG industry (and still a dream as I can see); moreover what I don't fully understand is the policy at daz: they keep on growing but slowly, they create new human generations but only for artists and amateurs, they don't attack the market with perfect copies of human beings as it should be (think to VR potential): they simply reiterate their work infinitely (and the latest, M8, looks meaningless)

 

i used to think of carrara and vue as softwares vieing for the same demographic
but saw more potential in rara

Parent the camera to the figure,. or the veihicle

you can still move the camera,. and animate it,. but it will auto follow the parent

Andy,  I've looked a few times tonight and can't figure out how to parent the camera to an object.  Do I want to track the object?

I believe I've found it... by draging the camera onto the object or figure/character.

Yup. I quit doing it that way because of movements I don't like in the recording, but yes. We may also drag the camera onto specific parts, like arm, neck, head, hip, etc.,

As with my enhancing light rigs, I instead opt for a Target Helper object, which I place at a specific, recognizable point near or on the character, and then move it along the motion of the character throughout time. If I do want the movements embedded, I can always just drag the Target Helper Object onto the body part I want to pparent to - but I haven't done that yet, since I've switch to using THOs.

For example, my enhancing light rigs are parented to a small Target Helper loctated between the eyes of a character. So through the animation of the character, I can decide if the enhancing will follow the exact motion, lag behind, precede, rotate around etc., And the same goes for cameras, which I keep independently in their own Target Helper if I need one.

In my still renders I've gotten into the habit of adding multiple target helper objects mainly for lights and only 1 for camera... can't wait to give them a go in a future anim.

I've never watched Lexx either but Babylon 5 is a classic!  First time that computer graphics had been used in a mojor way in a TV series. Series one is a bit clunky at times, Series 2-4 just build and build to epic proportions. They weren't sure that they would be renewed for a fifth series, so they shoe-horned a lot into Series 4 just in case, which means that when it was renewed for a fifth and final series, they had to add some storylines which didn't reach the scale of the previous series. But overall, it is a masterpiece!

Having Lightwave on my Amiga...  I was immediatly addicted to Babylon 5.  Probably have all or most of B5 on VHS.

Perhaps now that Genesis 8 is out DAZ will take a break and get back to work on Carrara.   What... did I here someone say something about wishes and horses?  Did someone else mutter something about that guy is too optimistic?... I am optimistic!

Carrara is a full-fledged program, especially for those who don't need animated figures. Those figures that already work in Carrara are enough for most users. Those users who need more can work in DS. And anyone can create his own animated figures that will work in Carrara.

I was good, I could talk
A mile a minute
On this caffeine buzz I was on
We were really hummin'
We would talk every day for hours
We belong to the deadbeat club
Any way we can
We're gonna find something
We'll dance in the garden in torn jepe sheets in the rain

Mistara - if you like Celtic sounding music, you may just like this tune that I put together a while ago. Apologies for the blatant promotion of my SoundCloud channel!
