P3DO 2.7 RC2 is out.
I think that, back when HeadWax started this thread, we were all (Carrara members) in need of such a thread in here. It's kinda nice having our Carrara community topics, added to and read by us, the Carrara community.
I do agree that it is a valuable thread to be viewed elsewhere, however. So what about maybe a thread in another forum with a link to this one, rather than moving it? Just trying to add further thought to the thing ;)
Can I jump through the screen and hug you? This is brilliant. Hope to have my machine back in a week. I work with height maps all the time...some I have to make from UK OS Survey maps, etc. But I need to make my own, too... this is brilliant. I have World Creator which is $149 but I got on sale a while back, but it's like herding cats and you are in make-believe land all the time as it's for games.
Cheers!!! Silene
Hi, I'd rather keep the thread here please.
It's all about community, as Dart said - in this case the Carrara community helping other Carrara users.
That said, I'd actively encourage other people to contribute!!!
Just leave it in the Carrara forum please.
regards from oz
thanks!
thank you :)
I am not surprised that the Carrara community would want to hang on to this valuable thread, they started it and why not keep it where it started.
I am not sure a link to this thread would work as it would basically be a fixed billboard that would drop off the radar.
Another alternative might be to just start a competing thread for Free Software for use by DS community.
I suppose we could combine the 2 ideas, start a new thread elsewhere and have the first post link to this thread.
Any other ideas/feedback are welcome.
nice wispy clouds
Okay I think this might be a good compromise, what do you all think?
New Thread Title (under Daz 3D Forums | Freebies): Free Graphics Software
Message:
Hello Freebies fans. On behalf of the Carrara Discussion community I would like to invite you to checkout and subscribe to our thread “Free Software that Makes Life Easier”. It is one of my favorite threads because who doesn’t like free 3D related graphics apps! Enjoy.

( was typing at the same time as FirePro9 so hadn't seen the post with the link. )
Great! I will bookmark it.
Speaking of Free Software, for any vfx artists and/or movie creators out there, there's a brand new version of HitFilm Express (Express is the Free version - complete, and completely Free!!!) available now!
HitFilm uses a more layered style of building upon our footage for VFX... kind of like a Photoshop for moving pictures - and it does accept image sequences. Express doesn't include particles or the ability to import 3D assets, but those things can be purchased for the free version via add-ons, as well as a whole host of other enhancements that come with the Pro version.
Furthermore, their YouTube channel is an absolute treasure trove of free (and valuable) tutorials, tips and inspirational ideas on using this wonderful software - sometime even including links to free working files for the subject being presented. If you plan on making movies, shorts or moving ads, etc., you owe it to yourself to check it out!
Here's an example of how much they enjoy teaching their craft to their community - just take a quick look (click image below):
...and that's just one of the many links on the HitFilm Express page that will launch you into some really great techniques to making animations into quality CG scenes!
Just tried the Octane Render plugin, wondering if there is a way to render a Spherical &/or a Stereo Spherical image with this? Could not find a way to get any spherical image out of Octane plugin.
Thanks!
Just came across this free 3D app that might help if designing and/or decoarating rooms :
"Sweet Home 3D is a free interior design application
that helps you draw the plan of your house, arrange furniture on it and visit the results in 3D."
Here is link to their homepage: http://www.sweethome3d.com/
Here is link to their free models (obj format): http://www.sweethome3d.com/freeModels.jsp
I was interested in this app because it suppose to support WebGL export via a plug-in but I couldn't get it to work for me.
Thanks for this.
Both Windows and Mac versions available.
Had a brief play with it (Mac version). Looks useful. Has an obj export option. Imports into Carrara nicely.
It looks really cool. There's a mention of it much earlier in this thread, but it's difinitely worth repeating again! ;)
Might be of interest!

Hi, someone know a freesoftware for mesh wrapping?
Meshlab? not sure what you mean
http://www.meshlab.net/
Meshlab can make point clouds into mesh
Blender...
Hexagon
I think mesh wrapping is like shrink wrapping or something
AFAIK Hexagon cannot do it
I can do it in Zbrush using Zprojection but of course that's far from free
Blender certainly has a shrinkwrap modifier but the results like Zbrush vary, you need the general shape to be sculpted pretty close to the target.
Hi, someone know a freesoftware for mesh wrapping?
Thank you very much, i will try this.
@Dartanbeck : no i think that Hexagon cannot do it.
This is a pretty nice resource, thanks. But how do I convert stl files to obj (or other format that can be used in Carrara)?
havent tried these yet
Screenplay Formatting
FREE SOFTWARE: Celtx - http://www.celtx.com
Writer Duet - http://www.scripped.com
Trelby - http://www.trelby.org
Meshlab, Blender, OpenModel etc
remembers when bryce did dxf files.
this time I wanna share a shot made with 3delight in D/S, just because the 3d scene made by HF has been rendered in less than 10 minutes, whereas a similar scene in carrara took more than an hour. In such cases D/S and 3delight make life a way too easier
