Adding Folders to Tray
i forget what goes where, so i made a ref
objects
shaders
Misc
To copy carrara browser tray to another pc, copy over the preferences.txt file
this the path to preference files
C:\Users\your windows10 user name\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Carrara 8.5
preferences.txt
sometime removing folder in the tray and re adding doesn't fix stuff, seen that sometimes a remnant remains in this rtext file
in that case go to the preferences.text and manually delete 4 lines related to the folder
sometimes a remnant is only 2 lines.
do a find for dazb to zoom to any content folder remnant

other things i brain fart on
HDRI goes under background
light gels go under the light, effects, gel, map
Sunbeams are under, realistic, sky, in the fog tab (2nd button)
Rainbows are under sky (not realistic sky)
Camera depth of field previewer is under camers,effects
Camera, minimum safe distance, like when red matter is dumped in a planet core,
is under camera, general, distance to near plane, has a minimum of .01
stuck in the hair decision making process,
, which way to go?
Bookmarked

so i was rigging the webding sickle moon and star.
I anted bone 2 to move the star only. but the points on the moon sickle were moving too
used the bones influence tab, selected the pollies on the sickle, moved the bones influence sliders to make it 100% effected by bone 1.
Convert Text Primitive to Vertex
On the edit menu

Reference for new to Carrara - THE Production Frame
thinking back to when i was new to Carrara, the first thing i got stuck on was the Production frame.
Carrrara doesn't necessarily render the preview window.
It renders what is Framed.
Toggles production frame visibility
To adjust the borders size of the frame
If the production frame isn't letting you adjust the ratio,
the Keep Proportions prolly needs to be toggled in render settings, output
Plain old Color+Gradient
can hardly believe it
the journy to find color gradient has reached the stattion, lol
the shader dropdown has an option for 'gradient' duhhh omg, going to sleep tonight with a smile lol
Gels SHadows+effects shadow+gels shadow+maps
Carrara native light gels
