Kung Fu with Carrara and Transparency maps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-3gjE0zId4&list=UUv_Mfrptks2uudK8eaiK9JQ&index=1&feature=plcp
All live action is transparency maps to get the lights and shadows. I actually prepared six Kung Fu models, but could only load three. And if I saved, the file became corrupted. I had to prepare everything, then the very last thing was to add the models with x, y, and z and scale and rotation. Even then, with three models, it would crash after about 5,000 frames at 1280 x 720. But as long as I didn't save, I could use the same file.
I used Poser 6 for the models, but didn't keep any link to the file.
I had some pretty big problems, but the rendering is fast, the colors are very nice and the program is so easy to use.

Very, very nice! The textures on the singer were incredibly realistic! :-) Did you do the animation in Poser and then import it into Carrara, or import the characters and then do the animation in Carrara? I loved the way you mixed the song too. I could hear every word very clearly. You should do the next one with karate babes instead of karate guys.:cheese:
