Carrara 8.5.1.19 just 'smells and feels' that way. I do realise that the proof of the pudding will be in the eating, but don't simply assume the RHaseltine:Īs I mentioned in this post I do not have any hard evidence that the latest Carrara 8.5.1.19 was done by an inexperienced intern, it's only a 'hunch'.

I think if you check the Carrara page in the Daz Documentation Centre you will probably see the current beta number, which was certainly incrementing for a while, and there were references to what was being done from one of the Daz software developers (Rob Whisenant) in one of the Daz threads on the new Connect system. Saying that kind of thing doesn't make it true. That's rather a lot of speculation presented as fact and then extrapolated from. Poser and DS were made to use the content so easily, imo)ĭr_bernie posted at 3:13PM Tue, 08 March 2016 - #4259830
(some may argue Blender or others, but nothing but Carrara. I don't even use it now, but am saving up for it for the next sale, as I would like to try its newest toon and drawing style features, and have again access to its animation set and dynamics. IMO, Poser is the most similar software, though not cheap, but other than modelling has a fair amount of similar features, and is built to use all the same content, just as easy.except for the newer Daz stuff.
The outlook has not looked good for a while now.the longer it goes, its a pretty safe bet to assume it's been shelved. So there is no benefit to them as a business to do this. If they just released it as open source, they would basically be releasing what could develop into a competitive product, as the public would not be able to maintain support for the proprietary figures and technology that they put into their other products. That way the public could contribute, and they could maintain a product.Īlthough.I think the market in this space is probably too competitive, and those who would benefit the product probably would prefer to focus on improving more fully open-source and powerful products, such as Blender.

In this way they could make the source code public, and folks can contribute, but they would maintain a core required piece that they could sell. It would be interesting if they tried a different approach, such as the selling of a required proprietary part of Carrara, and making the rest open-source. I have it on good authority that If you are looking for a job as a 3D artist in a prominent production studio, even mentioning the name of Carrara will immediately get you thrown out the door, while if you show some reasonable Houdini skills, you could get hired immediately with a hiring bonus that could be as much as $100K.
This is a full-blown Houdini package (a $12,000 3D app) offered at $199.- The only restrictions are that you cannot use it in a commercial pipeline and the output is limited to 1920x1080.

Compare Carrara Pro with the 'entry level' Cheetah3D and you will see that feature for feature, Cheetah 3D beats Carrara Pro hands down.įortunately for people of your talents, who don't seem to use much Poser contents anyway, there is a 'dream solution' which is Houdini Indie version. Other than that I don't see anything in Carrara that would make it stand-out. IMHO Carrara's only clear advantage is its native support for Poser contents, and its particularly well-thought 3D view and scene building tools. You are exactly right, at one point the last good known version of Carrara (which imho is 8.1.1.12) will stop working on newer OSes, and it will be the end of Carrara for those of us who don't want to use 8.5.x.x releases developed by inexperienced intern(s).Īs I mentioned in the thread above, I am not hitting on the intern(s) working on Carrara, but doing serious developments on a complex 3D app isn't a job for an intern. There will certainly be more of 8.5.x.x 'releases', but they will all be buggy, poorly tested and mostly unuseable. As I mentioned in this thread the latest Carrara 8.5.1.19 has the 'Smell and Feel' of a software hastily put together by an intern paid minimum wage.
