@Khoe More brilliance - terrific depth and that creature is really quite scary - the dragonflies (?) are they Rdna scatters (old product in the store) or something distributed? or added in post?

They really add an extra something

the insects are homemade with Monster Mash very easy to use. then distributed over a terrain with a replicator. really very easy :) Thanks for the words of praise :) the light settings are very important for the clarity of the picture because i have experimented with it for a long time.

Thanks for those clues, much appreciated. Yes the light settings youve done a terrific job. Focuses the attention just down the right path. Cheers from Oz!

Another moody and interesting render!  Very well done.  I believe that you have mastered the technique of "murky forest." :)

Have you considered entering the Carrara Challenge?  The topic is Iconic Movie Scenes.  Plenty there for you to work with.

thank you for the praise. I am very happy if you like the pictures. no, I haven't heard about the Carrara Challenge yet. Unfortunately, my English is too bad to understand all of the texts correctly. I try to read my way there when the opportunity presents itself. maybe I can still try something. Animation with my renderings could be tricky, they are very computationally intensive. I'm not very good at making animation either. but who knows if I will learn it after all :)

Ah, the language thing. :)  I understand.  If you change your mind, the Challenge thread is here.  It is basically an art contest we do on the Carrara forum 6-8 times per year.  There are prizes (Daz products).  Philemo is the host this time, and English is not his primary language either.  Over the years, many have entered who do not speak much English.  Fortunately, art transcends language.

To be clear. animation is not required in the Challenge.  The theme of this particular Challenge is a classic movie scene, and that is usually done with a single render, and not an animation.

I hope this translates for you OK.

I understand. I can choose a scene from a movie and then recreate it with Carrara. For example, when it comes to dinosaurs, a scene from Jurassic park would work. I can certainly get more info in the thread. I am considering it. it is certainly interesting.

Yes, that is the idea.  A scene from Jurassic Park will work very well.

Side note - at this moment, the forum will not allow images to post.  It could change soon, or last all day.

And To All A Good Night

 

I entered this in the Rendo Christmas contest.  It didn't win, which I understand.  There were several nice renders.  However, the winners weren't anywhere near the top of my list.  I won't be entering any future Rendo contests, as voters there seem to be looking for realism done poorly (IMO).

ProPose

Looks like a christmas card i'd buy.  Great work

Great work.  Energetic composition.  Beautiful image.

ProPose, Khoe, and Diomede - thanks!

As usual, there was no postwork.  Carrara is amazing, and with the added free plugins it is marvel.

Aiko 3 carrara rendered.

Sci Fi Funk

Khoe - that dinosaur image is fantastic! I love the use of colour to really make the foreground and the action stand out. Also those fireflies are brilliantly done. Great work.

I like the jungle product, is it available at Daz I don't recall to of seen it before and wouldn't mind it in my Runtime, is it heavy on resources? .. awesome

Most plants are made in Carrara. some are from Daz (Mesozoic Plants) Weed was loaded from cgtrader.com. and paint a lot in Carrara's 3d Paint. The origin was the Plant Pack from Dartanbeck. From this I developed more and more new plants. Eventually it was the jungle :). work ist step by step

great illustration Khoe ,

another quick try to emphasize both carrara and 3delight "shininess": scene assembled and adjusted in carrara with ease, enlighted and rendered in daz studio with the fast 3delight engine (less than 1 minute/frame)

Love Aiko 3 and the anime look.  Did you use YAToon?  Looks good.

Wow, I am so impressed with the size of the scene being walked-through.  How many total figures?  It would take me a month to render that walk-through, I think.  

Thanks for posting your tests.  I know you said you were testing shininess, but I found myself focusing on the different hair props used in the scene.  Very interesting.

Hatsune Miku

 

I use default carrara render for these.

thx,

actually I've been using 9 sets divided in blocks of 3 and a dozen of scanned human figures replicated in each set and saved as blocks as well; this let me allow to render 3 sets with 3 blocks of figures easily in 3delight once converted in dae format and loaded when needed. Carrara shines when you need to handle a lot of meshes, to assemble and modify them quickly and easily, camera movement and the shader room are very effective to me. 3delight shines essentially for its speed and lighting set up. It would be great if it had filters and visual fx like carrara but I'm going to try if they can render with no visible difference so as to switch between one another

strangely, I can sometimes render more complex scenes faster on my Win7 with Carrara native engine than I can on my Win11 Octane render
