Roleplaying
For a map I’m working on, I need a small ventilation tower, is tower the right word? Anyway, something that sits on the ground enabling air to move down to the underground tunnels. I’ve decided to give Carrara 8 a real go today, and make an object using it from scratch.
So we got some great railroad tracks that we want to make even better. Today we will do that. I think we can make them look really great.
As I’m working on the adventure “Wicked Times: London Calling” for Operation:Fallen Reich, which has the London Underground as a place of fun, I needed some new railroad tracks. I’ve used Carls FilterForge filter before, but I though it was time to make them i 3D.

For a map I’m working on, I needed a nice wall to surround a garden, so I decided to make one.
Have you ever heard that line before from me?
So, I promised I’ll go back to Cheetah3D and see what we could render from there. Cheetah3D has a good renderer, and some nice capabilities, specially when rendering single objects like I do.
Today, we will focus on setting different textures for different planks on the picnic table in Carrara 8.
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.
We’re back with the picnic or camping table today, and today we’re gonna add some screws to keep it together. I know, but it will look much better, I promise.
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.
What is a hood without a nice chromed lid to fill in the cooling water, that at the same time is a monument of the car?
I asked the same question, so here we go.
