Can Carrara be used for uv mapping?

Can Carrara be used for uv mapping? 3D modeling a 3D human toon figure?  

Diomede

Yes, and yes.

I model 3D toon figures in Carrara and UVMap them in Carrara.

 

However, there are other programs with better uvmapping toolboxes.  Here at Daz, Hexagon is free.  It has UVMapping capability.  It has vertex modeling tools that can create 3d toon figure.  

Blender just received a new facelift and it is free.  It has mdeling tools and UVMapping tools.

Here is a figure I modeled in Carrara and the UVMap for the face.

And these toon figures were all modeled and uvmapped in Carraa

And if I can be permitted to link to someone else's thread, you will find many examples of toon-ish models in Stezza's thread.

If you do decide to model and uvmap your figures in Carrara, you should skim the modeling threads.
