Title Description
Carrara 6 Pro is the most versatile 3D software on the market. Geared for professional and beginner alike, this powerful software allows for figure posing, modeling, landscape design, physics, animation and rendering - all within a single application. In this VTC course, noted expert and 3D animator Mark Bremmer, will help users quickly become familiar with the software’s working methods using common terms and a friendly, matter-of-fact format. He will then move on to teach basics of scene creation and best methods for 3D design within Carrara. Finally, he will lead Carrara users into the more robust features including: modeling with displacement painting, advanced texturing, methods for creating hair, character animation and much more. Tips and tricks are also provided for integrating Carrara into professional animation and studio work pipelines. Work Files are included.
