We’re back at the picnic table, and today We’re gonna solve the ugly texture problems, I hope. I think I could have usd some more intelligent mappings to make it less visible, but by having it visible it was ugly enough to be fixed.

I’ve been playing with one of my new DAZ toys, Carrara 8, which is a pretty nice 3D tool, specially the render engine makes very good results, and it can load all DAZStudio and Poser materials. Poser is still on the wish list, it is a little too expensive as a toy right now ($499), but Smith Micro usually run some good discounts from time to time.

I found a great tutorial at geekatplay for making a picnic table for Carrara 8, so I decided model that in Cheetah3D, and then move it over to Carrara 8 for rendering.
