    Ivy - congratulations on your 2nd place finish.  I’d go on that ride again!

     

    MAJourney - couple questions.  Are you using Carrara’s soft body physics modifier?  Or, are you using a plugin like VWD?  Have you made sure that the cloth does not intersect the figure at frame 0?

    other thoughts depend on those questions. If you are using soft body attach, then bounce settings for self collision could be a problem.

     

    There's a VWD for Carrara? I don't have it. I've just been using Bullet. The bounce is at 0, but i'm noticing it doesn't just get bigger, it ex-plodes and tears and makes a m ess

    1)  Yes, you can use VWD with Carrara.  You need a plugin by Philemo to transfer the files from Gerald's VWD to Carrara.

     

    2)  It has been a while since I did much with softbody physics.  However, here are some potentially useful excerpts and links.

     

    - if your under armor explodes, make sure that (a) self collision is unchecked, and (b) the settings for margin are checked and are in the 30 range. Also check the settings of your cloth article for margin. See earlier posts for sample settings. I no longer experience explosions.
    - turn off collide with other objects for the base figure (V4 or whatever). Because collide with other objects for the base figure is disabled, one would think that the base figure would not matter, but it could if the base figure affects soft body attach. So far, I have successfully used the technique for V4, Aiko3, Genesis2 female default, Genesis2 female customized, M4, and David 3. Worth checking for others, and I am halfway through a test of the Poser 7 figures. My current working proposition is that the base figure does not matter in Carrara because it's collisions are disabled.
    - I have had success making my own under armor suits and using the base figure exported and reimported. For me so far, the key has been getting the under suit in a single vertex object with multiple panels and self collision unchecked. So I don't think it matters if the under suit is a capsule or not, except in its shape's ability to fully prevent poke through, which also applies to under suits of other origin.

    EDIT - The following thread has the settings are the ones I have had the most success with for multiple figures

    Hello Misty, I went to TurboSquid, first of all I searched for Carrara, then when those had been found I searched for $0 Free items. None available according to the search. There are quite a few obj, 3ds, fbx files for free.

    I love the smell of A-bombs in the morning.

     

    I'm not much for horror poems or music.  The closest I can come is Ghost Riders in the Sky.  Vaughn Monroe sang the original version - and he has incredible pipes - but I also like this version from an otherwise forgettable movie, Blues Brothers 2000:

     

    However, my idea of a ghost herd render got modified when I saw Mark Bremmer's A-bomb freebie.  And I also remembered the famous line from Apocalypse Now:

     

    Another influence was HW's thread about JSplacement.  I love displacement, and that program provides an endless playground in Carrara.  Thanks HW!

    The terrain was made in Carrara using a map from JSplacement.  Lights are standard Carrara, with no GI or HDRI.  Carrara fire, Carrara clouds, and Carrara text (sig).

    The models are Steam Dragon, Michael 4, and some Steam Cowboy accessories.  And the freebie is, of course, the A-bomb from Mark Bremmer, which is both stunning and incredibly educational to open up and study how he did it.

    And no postwork.  Thanks Carrara!

    (I may add some postwork later to make the flames more realistic - unless someone has a suggestion of how to do it in in Carrara)

    Thanks HW!  Yeah, surfers nightmare. :)

    Just had a closer look at the city. Amazing job you did. Ad the lighting is 'just' right.

  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 38,200

    I am concerned the .car freebie required causing so many stress and must remind you all it only needs to be used and mentioned not the main focus of the scene so please look at the links on the first page, pick something insignificant and plonk it in a corner, on a shelf, as an ornament or even as a miniature on a necklace or something if it's going to be a problem using it.

  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 38,200

    and on the other requirement you can also write your own poem, it need not be great literature.

      There are 17 pages of freebie Carrara format files listed at ShareCG.  Just check the box for Carrara in the search parameters.

     

          Roses are red,

         Violets are blue,

         Sweeny Todd bled,

         And so will you.

    Bwahahahahahahahaha.  Obviously, I am looking for a Carrara hair freebie.  Or, I will post another one.  There are some dynamic hair "shields" at ShareCG to speed up calculaitons of animations when hair interacts with moving figures, but I don't think I will use one.

    (Edit: I bet several of you now prefer my parody of the Oktoberfest standard, "In Heaven, they have no beer" as "In heaven, they have no hair.")

    Hi all, I have been working here and there on an entry, but something has come up and I cannot complete it. The person scheduled to direct my community theater's winter production just bowed out due to an unexpected medical problem. I have volunteered to step in and direct. As some of the folks here can attest, planning a show is very time consuming, and I'm starting late, and hitting the ground running.

     

    I'm sorry I can't finish an entry for Wendy's debut challenge! sad

    MAJourney, hope you get that entry done.

    Misty, hope you can join in the action.

    UB - looks like those steampunk dragons don't need to worry about EMP

    Diomede - plenty of freebies to choose from

    Stezza - absolute crackers of a render, although I can think of a better place to store those mini-dynamite sticks

    Headwax - a poet wouldn't you know it !!!! Nice render.

    This is an illustration of my own poem written in 2016. I post it as is, without translation.

     

    Мне снилось, кто-то лез в окно:

    Глаза горят и рот шипящий —

    он не людской, ненастоящий...

    И окровавленную руку

    тянул в разбитое стекло...

    Но испугаться мужика

    тогда я толком не успела,

    Как за окно его стащила

    назад неведомая сила...

    Другая сцена, чей-то дом,

    Чужой, безликий и гламурный...

    Какой-то мальчик был мой муж...,

    Совсем ко мне неподходящий:

    Он был божественно красив;

    Танцор, над пропастью парящий,

    Поверх всего живого взгляд

    его таинственно светился,

    Навеяв радости мотив.

    В пустом дворе мы попрощались,

    Настал момент; он мне назвал

    то место, где мы повстречались

    И где могли бы в нужный час

    Когда-то снова повстречаться;

    Но я забыла про него...

    Без сожалений, без печали.

     

    В сырой, кромешной темноте

    Я выбиралась из колодца;

    Мечтая вновь увидеть солнце,

    Хватала выступы не те...

    Холодный воздуха поток

    Лицо спасительно овеял;

    И почва с запахом шалфея

    Шуршанием коснулась ног.

    Я побежала, я бегу...

    Луна дорогу освещает,

    И лес за шиворот роняет

    то дождь, то снег...

    Исчезло всё...

     

    В просторном зале у окна

    Я тихо пряталась за шторой,

    Сквозь сетку ветхую которой

    Мне было видно хорошо.

    Дамаска рваные обои

    свисали клочьями в углу

    Шальным огнём мерцал камин,

    Холодно-синие фракталы

    перебирая на полу...

    Тень отделилась от стены

    Мужчины в черном —

    он соткался

    из воздуха;

    И силуэт

    его в стекле не отражался,

    И край его плаща скользил

    по синим языкам огня,

    Вдруг у окна он оказался,

    Буквально в шаге от меня...

    Бездумно и заворожённо

    ждала сюжета я виток,

    Но завершиться сон не смог —

    Его прервал негромкой трелью

    привычный утренний звонок.
