Hi folks,

It's been a long time, but I have some fun news.

I will be releasing all the DCG plug-ins I have rights to as open source. I am still working through the open source license and hosting decision, but as a first step, there is a beta for the no purchase or serial number required version of the plug-ins. More details and downloads are available at http://www.digitalcarversguild.com/os.php.

Regards,

    wow, thanks so much!!
    I have several of your plugins, they are wonderful and indispensable for Carrara users. I would have bought them all but my personal economic limitations prevailed.
    yes,as UB said "mixed feelings'
    Good luck for your future projects and thank you so much for supporting Carrara !

    yes it is bittersweet news as Carrara development by DAZ has ground to a halt and now it reflects the lack of interest by many others to continue to develop for it, I am hoping it may go the other way with others taking up the torch and adding to the development as we have keen Carrara users like Philemo and Alberto who can.

    very kind and generous of you indeed heartyes

    When I first read the beginning of this post I thought I was mis-understanding it. Nah, stuff that cost 30 to 40 dollars being literally given away for free. I saw the download addresses and said to myself, "Well, what the heck, may as well see what this is all about"

    Bingo! All the Carrara Plugins, but two, listed on the Carrara Plugins description page were included in the download file FOR FREE!!

    Has Digital Carver gotten secret news that World War III is about to happen? Ha, hah

    Anyways, Thanks a million for your generosity.

    Eric,

    I have some of your plugins and like them so much, specially Terrain tools, Shader Ops, Shader Ops 2 and Shader Plus. I constantly use them. 

    I'll be really looking forward the sources!

    Thank you!

    Thank you! I wish you all the best in whatever you do. I have been very impressed with all your plugins and how you can go from an idea to a plugin has always amazed me.

    I remember the first time I found your store. It was like a Carrara candy store. I think I clicked on every page! I feel like I'm still just scratching the surface of everything the plugins I have can do. 

    Thank you for your kindness in making them all available. All the best with what is next.

    And OSX versions are now available along with updated Windows downloads to include DCG Importer.

    I uses the DCG Importer everyday, I can't live without it!

    I took a fast look on your pack, I think I must download all the tutos from your site...

    For ex, I don't find how to drape the "hairs" with Anything grows.

    Thank you for your fabulous gift!

    Thank you, @Selina and @Cellulo.   Appreciate the examples and explanation very much.  Reminder of just how generous it is to share these as open source. 

    @Selina, loving the animation.  Mesmerizing.  Might just sit here staring at it for a while instead of doing something useful.

    ..for those who'd like an explanation:

    • in the first image Wireframe Pro is used in the colour and shininess channels as a mixer; and
    • in the second image in the alpha channel too with the size property animated.

    Thank you Selina, brilliant as always
