WIP thread here Carrara Challenge #66 - Jumping Off a Browser Scene Go Splat - Daz 3D Forums
The creators of Carrara obviously loved Carrara.
One of the legacies they left us with was a whole bunch of complimentary "scenes' in our browser (the above image is from Lava Lamp scene)
They were left there by the Carrara Gods to give is ideas how to use the program - as 'jumping off points."

LINK TO WIP(S): https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/8156946/#Comment_8156946
ANY COMMENTS OR TIPS ON HOW YOU MADE THIS IMAGE/ANIMATION: The scene from which this is adapted is a folder of packaging examples. These are mostly bottles and other containers. I decided to try my hand at modeling a cereal box and presenting the packaging like the examples. The front image of the box is a render of Daz Gobbles.

Here some work with the lava lamp included in the browaser folder , the low res chaps are splats replicated - of course I could have replicated the meshes
the Earth is a separate render from The SPACE scene folder
The Lava lamp is in the special effects Folder
Post worked
The stars ar from a free online starfield generator (space scape)
The light at the apex of the lava lamp has a standard lend flare added

Working with the Cornet HDR in Global Illumination in the Scenes Browser
I used an obj pass to isiolate the reflective elements of the original PNG and bring them back - as reflection didn't come out in the Global Iluminatoion pass.
These chaps ar low res people :) Great models, never want to have a rest and are happy with their minimal choice of wardrobe.

Title Mr Smith Goes to Hapsburg
WIP Link: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/8107746/#Comment_8107746
Comments:
Here's splats used as rain makers.
Made a PNG with Ron's Rain, put that on the splats and replicated them through the scene into the distance.
Howie's Hapsberg and a low res guy
Something went weird with Carrara and the render turned out semi transparent - didn't have any apha bits turned on in the render page - the pngs were 9000 pixels square so I think it was either a memory issue or a splat issue.
I had to join a few render passes to save the scene
Howi's Hapsberg was already found in the Scene Browser
